Hi all,
Could you please help me to sort the data set by the expression?
The expression is - Last(Fields!Volume.Value)-First(Fields!Volume.Value).
As far as I read it impossible- to sort by expression

I'm not sure if it's me, but if you have the first and last values in a dataset, e.g.:
1
5
16
1
you would be sorting by 1-1, i.e. 0 over the whole set, which doesn't make sense. Is that what you really want? If not, could you provide more detail, and preferably sample code that can be run and tested

You might want to look at Jeff Moden's article on how to post code problems: https://qa.sqlservercentral.com/articles/forum-etiquette-how-to-post-datacode-on-a-forum-to-get-the-best-help
Having said that, it looks as if you are using SSRS to crosstab, and there can be any number of columns as (presumably) the column headings are a range of dates. In that case, you aren't looking for the first and last in a column, probably the minimum and maximum in a row; however, just showing a screenshot doesn't help us understand what you are trying to do
If you were to create the data as an SSRS dataset then you would be able to sort on a "Difference" column, but without more information it's impossible to know. If you need more help you need to explain what you are trying to do and provide sample datacode in the form as described
One other thought: there may be a simpler way of presenting the data than what you are trying to do. I try and follow a rule that says if something starts to get really complicated in the presentation layer it's probably not the best way of providing the data
