Unable to lock sort priority order

Hi,

I'm attempting to keep my table sorted in a particular way, which is crucial to the presentation of the table.  See attachment 1 for the sort order that I'm trying to achieve.

However, I also have a conditional expression, Major Group, which only appears when there is one brand selected.  As soon as a user clicks on a brand, thus drilling down into the major group field, the sort priority changes! (see attachment 2 for the order that is now in place).  Is there any way I can prevent the sort priority list from jumping around and destroying my table?

Thanks.

Create an inline table with the sort order for the dimension you want to sort.

Example

Load * inline [

Matches,MatchesSortorder

A,1

B,2

C,3

];

NOW SORT BY EXPRESSION AND use MatchesSortorder
