Sorted in Query but not in Report

Post by OOnewbie08 »

I've created a database that I want to sort by company and then by last name. The query does this just fine. When I create a dynamic report and try to have it sort, I get gibberish. I read in another post to let the query do the sorting and just have the report show that query, but when I do, the report is sorted by ID#, not as it should be like the query. I have attached a sample file. Thanks for your help!

Reporting is broken in many ways. I use to use Calc as reporting engine.

Wow, you just render OpenOffice completely useless to me :ouch: unless there is some kind of work around. Has anyone figured out how to sort your reports? Will this ever get fixed?
