Change or Apply Data Sorting to a Report

To sort a report's data, use a report containing a Label control bound to a CategoryID data field. This field will be used as a sorting criteria.

• Click a Detail band's Smart Tag. In the displayed menu, locate the Sort Fields section, and click the ellipsis.

• In the displayed window, click Add to add a new entry, and set the FieldName property to a data field against which the data is to be sorted. The user can also define a sorting order (ascending or descending).

  

  Note:
  Data can be sorted against multiple data fields. If this is required, add more entries and specify their data field and sort order settings as described above.

• To apply the settings and close the window, click OK.

The sorting is now applied to the report. Switch to the Preview tab to view the result.
