Sorting matrix based on aggregation in ssrs 2008

I have a matrix in ssrs 2008 like below:

Reason #ofCancellations
[Reason] Count(Fields!CancelID.value)

It is working well. What I want is to sort this matrix based on the count columns in descending order. Normally, I was doing it by going Tablix propertoes -> Sorting. This time it does not let me write Count(Fields!CancelID.value) there, giving me error like Aggregations are not permitted while sorting a matrix. I prefer to do the sorting on the ssrs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Try setting the sorting in your Row Group. Go to Row Group pane and right click the group Reason.

enter image description here

Select Group properties... and go to Sorting tab. Add a new sorting by expression and select A-Z for ascending or Z-A for descending.

=Count(Fields!CancelID.value)

Let me know if this helps.
