Verifying the Group Order
By default, the first time you specify a sort order for a report, Report Builder automatically uses the sort order as the initial group order. Therefore, because you specified to sort first by Sales–Rep, then by Order–num, Report Builder groups the data first by Sales–Rep, then within Sales–Rep by Order–num.
Follow these steps to verify the group order:
- Choose Database
Group Order or the Group button. The Group Order dialog box appears:
![]()
Because you want to group the data in the currently specified levels, you do not have to make any changes to the default group order. However, if you do want to to specify a new group level, you choose the New button, then specify the field and group level. In most cases, the group fields should be the same as the sort fields.
- Choose OK to return to the report layout.
To display the report data utilizing the specified group levels, you will create group header and footer band lines in the "Designing the Report Layout" section.
