Hello,
I have a report with the Priority field is used as sort order and
grouping. The problem is the data in this Priority field if sorted in
ascending order is: High, Low, and Medium. How could I sort it as:
Low, Medium, High?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated,
James

James, Don't know how you can, but what you could do is base the report on a
query. In the query add the fields you want for your report then add the
below statement to the top row (Field:) of an empty column in you query grid
txtSort:
IIf([Priority]="Low",1,IIf([Priority]="Medium",2,IIf([Priority]="High",3)))
Now you can sort by this field either in the query or via the sorting and
grouping in the report.
Hope this helps!

You are sorting by a text field. Best to use a numeric code to represent
the levels with a lookup table to get the text, makes sorting much
easier.
eg.
1 High
2 Medium
3 Low

I followed Reggie's suggestion (and also from Bradley, thank you).
One thing I did not mentioned before was I have another Name sort and
grouping over Priority. Which means Name is the main sort and
grouping, then Priority (I named it PriorityNum). For debugging
purpose, I put PriorityNum (numeric) in both detail line and also in
the grouping header.
Whenever I ran the report, it prompted as: "Enter parameter value:" in
the box title, and it asked for PriorityNum. I entered nothing. The
result I got was the Priority numeric printed correctly at the detail
line, but the grouping header (I put as = [PriorityNum]), it did not
break correctly. For example, it shows PriorityNum as 2 at the header
grouping, but in that detail group, it shows all 2, 1 and 3 mixed up.
Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance.
James
James, I believe that is because you are using a reserved word for your
field "Name". Change this to txtName or something else and see if this
doesn't fix your problem. If not post back!

James
Reggie,
In my program, I used txtAssignee instead of Name. Sorry, for the
confusion in my email when I tried to make it simple by using Name
instead of the real field name. So, here is my layout is supposed to
look like:
1) First sort and grouping: txtAssignee : in header group 1.
2) Second sort and grouping: txtPriority = [PriorityNum]. This part
is in the header group 2.
PriorityNum = Your IIF statement that you gave me.
James
James, Open your sorting & grouping box. Now select the txtAssignee first
from the drop down list then the txtPriority or PriorityNum second. From
your post a I can't tell what the control is because of this statement
"txtPriority = [PriorityNum]". It sounds like you are trying to group by
[PriorityNum] in you sorting & grouping box, but that field doesn't exist in
your recordsource anymore because you renamed it to txtPriority in the
query. Hope this helps, if not post back! 1) First sort and grouping: txtAssignee : in header group 1.
2) Second sort and grouping: txtPriority = [PriorityNum]. This part

Reggie,
I used txtPriority as group header 2. It refers to PriorityNum in the
detail line. PriorityNum is defined with your IIF statement. Neither
PriorityNum nor TxtPriority shown in the dropdown list of Sorting &
Grouping. I guess because these two fields I defined it myself and
they are not part of the SQL table I used for the report.
Plus, it keeps asking me to enter value for txtPriority. I just
clicked Ok without entering any value and I still have the same
problem of mixed up priority number in my detail line.
James
James, Lets try this! It sounds like you are typing txtPriority =
[PriorityNum] on the second line of the sort/group box and these are both
unbound controls on your report. Instead of that Open your report and open
the sorting/grouping box. Remove what you have on the second line and type
in exactly what Is below (which is probably what you have the control source
of your unbound [PriorityNum] set to).
=IIf([Priority]="Low",1,IIf([Priority]="Medium",2,IIf([Priority]="High",3)))
This should do what you want. If you set this second sort/group to Group
Header=Yes you will see the statement above as the title for the header.

James
Reggie,
Yes, it worked now with your last solution. Thank you so much for
helping me for the last several days. Sorry for the confusion. I
know if I could describe the problem clearly in the first place, you
could have showed me at one shot.
Again, thank you for being patient and helping. Wish you're nearby, I
could have bought you a drink.
James
James, No problem. Glad to help any time! Took us a little while but we
got there! Take care!

Reggie,
I used txtPriority as group header 2. It refers to PriorityNum in the
detail line. PriorityNum is defined with your IIF statement. Neither
PriorityNum nor TxtPriority shown in the dropdown list of Sorting &
Grouping. I guess because these two fields I defined it myself and
they are not part of the SQL table I used for the report.
Plus, it keeps asking me to enter value for txtPriority. I just
clicked Ok without entering any value and I still have the same
problem of mixed up priority number in my detail line.
James
Reggie,
Yes, it worked now with your last solution. Thank you so much for
helping me for the last several days. Sorry for the confusion. I
know if I could describe the problem clearly in the first place, you
could have showed me at one shot.
Again, thank you for being patient and helping. Wish you're nearby, I
could have bought you a drink.
James
