So I have a pivot table that looks like this

Week/Yeardata1
1 2019454
1 2020545
2 2019454
2 2020343
3 201955


How do I sort the week/year column in pivot table so that it first sort by the year and then the week number so that it looks like this?

wee/yeardata1
1 2019
2 2019
3 2019
4 2019
1 2020
2 2020
3 2020
 

Excel Facts

Back into an answer in Excel
Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
To be honest id be changing the source data so the week numbers were shown in the format YYYYWW so they then sort properly.

A textual number like you have there will not sort properly as you have found. For example 11 comes before 2. You will need to create a number system that sorts properly like the one ive given you.

Alright so, I tried to change it to YYYY/WW, but there isn't an option in custom for year follow by week.

What is actually in the cells that houses the pivot data? Remove all formatting first.
