Pivot Table Sorting

I have a card that shows total sales by sales rep (count and volume) for the previous quarter.

I'm trying to sort top down by count, then volume for the previous quarter but I keep running into issues.

When I add the date field (so the oldest month appears on the left) I can't get the totals to sort properly either by manually adjusting them in the header:

Or by adding them to the Sort By on the card:

What am I missing? Pivot Table is the preferred card as I can set it and forget it. If I have to do this with individual beast modes that's not preferable but I'm open to it if anyone has suggestions on how to do it.

Thanks!

    I've seen issues where the sorting gets strange if some of the sales people don't have any values in a particular time period and Domo handles that sorting strangely because it's a NULL.

    Maybe? I think it's because of the date sort. In the above example, two reps both had 16 sales, but because the top rep's sales happened before the other one (1/10/2023 vs 1/19/2023) that's why they're placed a row above.
