Sort by expression using one measure and one dimension

I am sorting the rows in my table by expression. Right now I'm using one of my dimensions (Say we call is Dimention1) as the expression to sort, but I need to sort rows by another measure (say we call it Measure1), too. Is this possible?

Right now the expression is basically: Dimension1

If I change it to sum(Measure1), then I lose the sorting by Dimension1. How can I have both?

Thanks!

Is it now clear what I'm trying to do? Thanks.

Sample to expand more on what I'd want to do:

  

IDNameCityMeasure1
12AlexWinnipeg156
35JustinHalifax800
57TinaToronto299
87PatriciaHalifax200
35JasonWinnipeg580

I have Measure1 as a measure in my pivot table, name in Rows, and City in columns. I want to sort the rows in a way that it first sorts by City, and then for each City, sorts by Measure1. Result in the following:

  

City
NameHalifaxTorontoWinnipeg
Patricia200--

Tina-299-
Alex--156
Jason--580
