Can you share with me exactly how your using that code in your report.  I do see it in the table however, it is like my report simply will not render that way.

There is a new column in t_customer called sort_name, which is what I am using.

I tried and it still does not work.  Anything else I might try.  Where you able to get it to work on your side.

Try:   ORDER BY d.lname, d.fname

Hi,

I have a report where I'm trying to sort by last name then first name.  I cannot get the Order By command to work.  Can someone share with me what I might be doing wrong?  Syntax Below:

ORDER BY d.lname, d.fname DESC

Hi Triland,

You don’t say which report environment you are using, Infomaker or SSRS?  No matter what your sql code or stored procedure is sorting by will be overridden by the report tool’s sorting method.

This example shows where the Sorting is determined in an Infomaker Report.  In SSRS there are similar options.

Still would not go.  I did it just as shown.

What if you do this?
