report building

I am building a report and the results of the detail section have to
be in a certain order, how can I do this? I also want to make a field
that displays a result that is based on multiple retrieved records.

Right click on the Detail section of the report, and choose
Sorting/Grouping fromthe menu. Choose the field you wish to sort on and the
sort order to use (ASC, DESC)

You'll need to be more specific before determining what you can do.

Ok lets say I have made a report with a field named number and the
result it displays is like this 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ; now what I want
to do is put it like this 7, 2, 1, 6, 4, 5, 3; and have an extra field
that now shows the average of 7, 2, 1 & 6, 4, 5 etc.

Doing this on arbitrary lines in a report would be rather hard. Something
would need to be different in order to group the desired records together.
If such a thing exists, then all you need to do is set a grouping level on
that value, then include an unbound textbox in that grouping sections
footer. Set the controlsource for this textbox to =Avg(FieldName) It will
average all the records in that group. Make sense?
