Report - Sorting grouped items by count value

Hi,

I have some relatively simple reports that pass parameters to SQL
Server stored procedure to retrieve data. These reports are set to
group the data by an individual's name and print their name along with
a count field. I would like to sort these reports by descending value
of the count field. (normally I would do all of this in the stored
procedure but the SP is designed to be "generic" - called from other
reports so I want each report to take ownership of customizing the
returned data).

Is there a way to sort the report by a non-grouping field?

Thanks

Also, I am using a "Report Header" to show a count of how many total labels that are being printed. Now, my problem is that without the "Report Header", the spacing is perfect. But, when I add the Report Header, it gets shifted downwards and the...

It contains a text field called Item. There may be more than one row where Item is duplicated. I use a field called Year to distinguish them on the printed...

Hi, I am having a problem with dynamically sorting/grouping data in my report at runtime. My problem is that when the report is run using sorting/grouping I am missing data. Specifically, my situation is that I have a query that contains results from 2 tables that have a one to many relationship to each other (ex. 1=Contact, M=Contact Incident, 1 Contact can have multiple Contact Incidents). This query is the dataset for my report. I...

I have a report to count some statistics of case data. I can't figure out how to make Access group and sum/count information to give me a nice statistics report. Basically the database has case information for matters at a law firm. The point is to create this report to group on the attorney. Then for each attorney count the cases where the status (CStatus is the field) is "Open", where the status is "Closed", sum the size of the media...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
