Sorting Primary Column in Reports

Paola Barlow

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is a bug or a "feature"

I can't seem to sort the primary column from a report. From the active sheet (no problem), but the purpose of reports is to have our own view and leave the active sheet alone.

And, yes, I don't have any other filters on.

Can anyone advice?

Hi @Paola Barlow

Are you using Grouping in your Report?

Grouping will automatically set your Report to Sort by the Group first, Alphabetically. Then if you apply a Sort, it will organize the rows within each Group, but not the Grouping structure. Does that make sense?

See: Sort Your Report Results with Report Builder and Configure grouping to organize results in report builder

Cheers,

Hi Genevieve,

No, the report is not grouped.

Thanks,

Would you be able to post a screen capture of what you're seeing, and the Sort not applying? (But block out sensitive data).
