create a new data item "Sort" as follows:

Code Select Expand

case
when [name] = 'Ending confirmed' then 1
when [name] = 'Ending likely' then 2
when [name] = 'Ending tbd' then 3
when [name] = 'Extension confirmed' then 4
else 99
end

Select your data container. In the properties, find a property called "properties" (yes. really.). Open that up and check your new data item "sort". Now, find the "grouping and sorting" property, and sort by your "sort" item ascending.

For debugging, add your data item to the datacontainer. Depending on DB used, case sensitivity may be a thing in the comparison.

Hello,

Sorry to bother you. Can you please tell me how to sort 2 column one is ascending and other in descending. If i apply ascending on one column and try to apply descending on other then ascending sorting is removed. Please guide how to apply sorting on both.

Thank you,
Ankur

select any data item in your list
in the icons, click the drop down for sorting
select "edit layout sorting"
in the window that opens: drag the fields you wan to sort on from your data items on the left to "detail sort list" on the right.

Thank you so much for the help and time, I am able to do it. I was earlier not dragging the field. I appreciate your time and help.

Here's the Edit Layout Sorting for a report with multiple sort keys.



The first and third keys are set to sort ascending, the second and fourth to sort descending.
