Issue
When clicking the quick sort button in a header, the results are not in the expected order.View is using a fake axis for advanced formatting options as described here:
Crosstab of Many Colors
Right click on the dimension on the rows shelf and select sort.
Select Ascending, descending and the field and aggregation as desired for the sort.
For a dynamic sort, see Creating a Parameter Control to Sort By Dimension.
By creating a dual axis chart using ATTR(1) the view only looks like a single column. However, it is actually a scatterplot, and the quick sort is sorting by the measure that makes up that axis, in this case ATTR(1).
