Help with making stats table in decreasing order

I am looking for the table to be in decreasing order and with the Total row on top. 

This is my current search. 

index=jia source="/hptc_cluster/splunk/Reports/PBS/splunkresults.csv" host="gridmetrics" sourcetype="JiaGridMetrics"
| stats count as Slots by JobName
| rename Slots as CPU
| addcoltotals label=Total labelfield=JobName
| sort count desc

This is the output.

You're asking the sort command to sort on a field that doesn't exist (count).  Choose either CPU or JobName for the sort.

index=jia source="/hptc_cluster/splunk/Reports/PBS/splunkresults.csv" host="gridmetrics" sourcetype="JiaGridMetrics"
| stats count as CPU by JobName
| addcoltotals label=Total labelfield=JobName
| sort - CPU
