title: How to sort SQL Server Report Builder Matrix Descending?
body: <p>I have a report with the following columns:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Machine</li>
  <li>Shift</li>
  <li>Reason</li>
  <li>MinutesDown</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My sql statement for the datasource sorts by shift descending.  In the Query Designer I get results sorted as I would expect.  When I insert a matrix (see images below) the shifts are not sorted descending.  How do I manipulate my report to put the shifts in the order that I would like them to appear ?</p>
