Framework Manager - Report Studio - Sort Month Name in month order

[LeeNash]

HI,

This may be another daft question from me, but I am using framework manager to configure a package for use with report studio.

The data is very basic, an employees name, where its budget or forecast, annual salary, month salary value and month name..
However when i query this information the month name is in alphabectical order, I obvioulsy need it in the actual month order however I can't think of a clever way of doing this.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a tried and tested method that works I would be very grateful!

Thank you all in advance

Lee

Hi Leen

You can actually include month id or month key in your package while publishing and then in the report studio you can sort the data container(list, crosstab, chart) by the sort key.

Go to Grouping and Sorting in the properties pane for that object in the report studio and then sort by month id/month key there.

Please include the month id/ month key as a query item in the query of that object even if you are not using it on the report.

It has to be in the query of that list/crosstab/chart so that appears when you actually sort it on the report.

Please get back to me if you have any queries.

Thanks and regards
Prerna
