I have created a pivot table but it don't see a way to make it sort the output by the Grand Total field.
In Excel I can manually right click the a total field and choose sort.
Here is my setup:
```
$Excel = $Output.RawData `
| Select-Object @{n="Date"; e={$_.Date | Get-Date}}, @{n="DateYM"; e={$_.Date | Get-Date -Format "yyyy`nMMM"}}, ComputerName, DisplayName, Commandlet, ModuleVersion, Event, FullCommand `
| Export-Excel $ExcelFile @ExportExcelOptions -Passthru
$PivotTableOptions = @{
ExcelPackage = $Excel
PivotTableName = "ByCommand"
SourceWorkSheet = $Excel.Sheet1
PivotRows = "Commandlet"
PivotData = @{"Commandlet" = "Count"}
PivotColumns = @("DateYM")
PivotTotals = "Both"
PivotTableStyle = "Light16"
}
$pt = Add-PivotTable @PivotTableOptions -PassThru
```
That code creates this:

I found this teaser in [v5.3](https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel/blob/7c473d1fb6faccf7722e7c3219af891c483d3b4c/README.original.md) where it talks about sort on pivot tables, but I can't figure it out.
Did I miss something in the docs?
Or is this even possible?
