I have 3 prompts in a prompt page
The order in which I want the prompts to appear is:Sales Territory,Country,Staff Name.
But the order in which appear are:Country,StaffName,Sales territory.

How can I reorder them?

Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you do not have a prompt page that you created, but you have some parameterized filters on your query. You can try reordering the filters on your query.

I created a Prompt page and inserted 3 value prompts in an order that I need, but when I run the report the prompts still display in alphabetical order. All these prompts were related to same query.

Now I created the same prompts using different query for each prompt, now the prompts display in the order that i created not in alphabetical order.

So when we are creating prompts based on 1 query,dont we have the option of reordering the prompts??

The prompts in a prompt page should appear exactly as you place them. Alphabetical sorting of prompts happen only in case of auto generated prompts.

Make sure the parameter names of the prompts in the prompt page match the parameters you use in the filter. If they don't, then auto generated prompts will appear.
