Has Google stopped offering it's “Weighted” Analytics sorting filter?

Question

I am trying to better evaluate my user's engagement and came across a feature of Google Analytics that I didn't know about, Weighted Sort. This is supposed to sort by bounce rate and also time on page, however it appears unselectable in my GA account . Can anyone verify that it is no longer offered? Or do I need to configure it somewhere else? I couldn't find any reference online to this feature being disabled in the new version of Analytics

Weighted sort is intended to filter outlier data from the grid view - for example, if you had the following pages (sorted by Bounce Rate) it's obvious that you'll want to pay more attention to items #3 and #5 over the others, even though a descending bounce rate sort would place the low-traffic pages at the top:

 #  URI               Hits          Bounce Rate
 1  /example-abc/     3             100%
 2  /example/         1             100%
 3  /popular/         1000          99.98%
 4  /contact/         9             52%
 5  /semi-popular/    552           40%

From the Weighted Sort documentation at Google Analytics Help:

With weighted sort, our system takes into account the number of visits, bringing [rows] with more visits to the top of the list.

With the Bounce Rate column selected, you can switch to Weighted Sort to get a list more like this:

 #  URI               Hits          Bounce Rate
 1  /popular/         1000          99.98%
 2  /semi-popular/    552           40%
 3  /contact/         9             52%
 4  /example-abc/     3             100%
 5  /example/         1             100%

Update: ... and, although it's not listed at Google's help center, you will also need to disable any Advanced Segments you may be using to filter data in order to enable this feature.
