Sorting Report Filter DropDown

Hello all,
I have a pivot table whose data is retrieved from a database. I want to have its report filter drop-down sorted in ascending order. I searched for it on the internet and found that we can sort the Report Filter drop-down by moving the Report Filter field to Row Lables section, sorting that field in Row Label section, saving, refreshing and restoring the field back to Report Filter section.(Link Below)

But in my case, when I try to move Report Filter to Row Labels, I get an error saying "a pivot table report can not overlap another pivot table report."
How should I go about it?

Any help will be appreciated!
Many Thanks

move the pivot table to it's

move the pivot table to it's own sheet

What do you mean by that ?

make sure there is only 1

make sure there is only 1 pivot table on the worksheet... if there are more, move the others to their own sheets

just an idea... see if it works.
