Sorting in Crosstab over Transformer Cube

I have the following Crosstab:

                                                    YTD Sls$      Other Measures
Product Line   Dept1
                       Dept2
                       OtherGrp1
                       OtherGrp2

Dept1 and Dept2 are members within Department (which is part of the Product Line Hierarchy) in the Cube.
OtherGrp1 and OtherGrp2 are Calculated Membesr as aggregate(currentMeasure within set set([Dept3],[Dept4]....)

I need to sort by YTD Sls$ which is a calculated member as tuple([YTD], [TY], [Total Sls]).

If I leave layout as above, and create a Sort on YTD Sales, it marks the Sort on Product Line, but it does not sort.

If I change layout to below - pulling aggregate measures out of current nesting and use Department rather than Product Line:

                                                    YTD Sls$      Other Measures
Department    Dept1
                       Dept2
OtherGrp1
OtherGro2

It now sorts Dept1 and Dept2 correctly within Department, but the OtherGrp's are not sorted (this makes sense to me).

I need to Sort all Departments and Groups of Departments (OtherGrp's) descending by YTD Sls$.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Adam.
