Develop Reports Define a Sorted Data Range

To control the sort order in a report data region, define a sort order. A sort order
is set when the report is built. For example, you might want to display customer
data alphabetically by last name or numerically by account number. To sort data
in a data region:

1. In the Visual Studio Model Editor, select the data region in the
design node for the report to sort.

2. To define a sort order outside a grouping, right-click the Sorting
node, and then click Add Sort. To define a sort order within a
grouping expand the node for the grouping, right-click the Sorting
node, and then click Add Sort.

3. Select the new sort order.

4. In the Properties window, specify the following properties:

o Name - name for the sort

o Sort By - select an expression or select <Expression...> to open
an Edit Expression dialog box

o Sort Order - select Ascending or Descending
