Default Pivot table aging report sort order

We can extract numbers on an "aging data" tab, but a subsequent pivot
table has the days listed in columns in either one of the following
order:

Over 1 year 90 60 365 30 270 180

or

0-30 181-270 271-365 31-60 61-90 Over 1 year

Obviously, we'd prefer that they be in a more usable sequence of 0-30,
31-60, etc. . .

Field settings/advanced allows a possible sort (ascending, or
descending), but still will not sort properly.

Perhaps the format of the source data?
Ideas are appreciated.

Pierre

I figured it out.
Right-click on a cell that contains a pivot item column heading, lets
say 31-60.

From the shortcut menu, choose Order, then click on one of the Move

options (right or left), we can move the heading (and subsequently
it's filtered data, to a more readable cell.

Cool, thank you to Debra D's site.
