Default Sort in Pivot Table


I have a Pivot Table with 3 columns of data. Column A has the Dept
Number, Column B has the Dept Description, and Column C has $ amounts
associated with the Dept in Columns A and B. Is it possible to sort
the data in this Pivot Table by the $ amounts in Column C? If so, I
would greatly appreciate your help in doing this?

In the mean time, I've just copied and pasted special the data in the
chart into a different sheet and performed the sort there.

Thanks in advance!

You can double-click the Dept Description button, and click Advanced.
For AutoSort options, select Ascending, then click OK, click OK.
However, the amounts will be sorted within the Departments, not overall.
