I have a Pivot Table with many columns.
I want the Pivot the ability to sort one of the columns in a way that the whole column is sorted and not the relative position in the hierarchy.

example:
nameProductSum
JoeA400
JoeB200
JoeB300
AliceA500
AliceA200
AliceC300

<colgroup><col width="72" span="3" style="width:54pt"> </colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

If I use the regular sort on the Sum column, I will get the data sorted partially.
nameProductSum
AliceA500
AliceA300
AliceC200
JoeA400
JoeB300
JoeB200

<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

As you can see, the Sum column is sorted only relevant to the Name column.
I want the whole column to be sorted.

Expected result:

nameProductSum
AliceA500
JoeA400
AliceC300
JoeB300
AliceA200
JoeB200

<colgroup><col width="72" span="3" style="width:54pt"> </colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Thank you in advance,
NImi
