Matrix visuals could significantly enhance the user experience by emulating Excel's intuitive sorting, searching, and filtering capabilities, even for hierarchical columns. This idea would the current limitation in Power BI's matrix visuals, which lack a comparable experience to Excel's established standard for data manipulation.

RE: Epic idea: Better sort and filter tabular experiences

While I've found that PowerBI is a very powerful tool that´s leaping forward towards being the N°1 reporting tool, developers still have to keep in mind that the final user *can barely* use PowerPoint (don´t get me started with Excel), and final reports need to be babyproofed.

Allowing to report static visuals is extremely useful with the mitten-hands-end-user (we all know people like that) and this request can be extended to every visual.

I would love to use this when showing Top N, I can sort by the value, and prevent others from sorting.

This would help me a great deal, I field a lot of questions from less technical users about why months are in a random order, when they've applied a sort in a previous session
