INDEX() as a column exports in Descending Order

[Jjohn987]

Tableau crosstabs are ugly and if you don't have a measure value on the marks card, there will be an ugly 'ABC' row to the far right. When exported, this column will show up as "NULL" if you export the table. I want to cover that column up - when exporting a table, I don' want my end user to have to have to clean the data (and delete that column) they just exported.

I try to work around the ABC column by Putting INDEX() on the rows shelf and my actual column Name on the Text Marks card. But when exporting this with the button, suddenly the order of the rows is inverted, sorted in descending order for some reason.
