Sort dimension two expressions

Hi, I have a simple table with one dimension and two expressions. I have currently sorted the table base of expression 1.

Problem: The customer requirement is that the expression 1 should be sorted followed by expression 2.

1. Expression 1 should be sorted

2. For similar values of expression 1...expression 2 should be sorted as explained in the image.

Request you to please help me here with the sorting expression.

 

Thanks in advance

You can choose your sorting priority in the chart properties. Click Promote/Demote change the priority.Skärmklipp.PNG

Hi Vagar,

Thanks for the quick response. As mentioned i have only one dimension so I cant promote or demote dimensions to change the sort properties. 

Instead I have to write a sorting expression which suffices my requirement. Tried something like 

=sum(Exp1)-rank(Exp2)

but still does not fix my problem.

I suggest that you don't sort by the dimension, use the expression it self.  Let the expression 1 have the highest priority and the expression 2 the second.

 

If you look at my prev. attached picture you notice that I have two expression as prioritized sorting.
