Hi Find attached solution and check the sort expression and its properties. In the place of hard coded value you can use your variable.

Hope this help.

You need to use your sort expression in both the dimension and uncheck everything else.

Find below code your can first try to implement this example in separate document.

Load script :

load * inline [

Dim,Month,value

A,10,1

A,10,2

A,11,1

A,11,2

A,11,3

A,12,2

A,12,1

B,10,1

B,10,2

B,11,1

B,11,2

B,11,3

B,12,2

B,12,1

B,12,3

B,12,4

C,10,1

C,10,3

C,10,4

C,10,2

count is not necessary .. Just use your expression in place of mine and check or uncheck the option as given in solution.

It will work.
