RB 7 TppField Sort and SortOrder

rbuser

I need to dynamically sort my reports. The TppDBPipeline contains the
TppFields and they have the Sort and SortOrder properties. I have tried
setting the Sortable, Sort and SortOrder before opening the TDataSet. I
have also tried after opening and it seems to have no affect on the order of
the detail section of the report.

TDataSet is connected to a stored procedure. Do you all have any
suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Bryan,

The pipelines or fields do not have the capability of sorting your data.
They simply retrieve the data from the dataset as-is and send it to the
report to be displayed. If you need to sort the data that is displayed
inside the report, you will need to do so in the dataset you are connecting
to (usually using the Order By command in SQL code).
