Pesky little bug...(with workaround)

Using RB6.03 and works pretty well. However, I just found the following
issue.

I have a report like the following:

Header Band:
standard detail fields
Detail Band:
standard detail fields
Footer Band:
(empty)
Summary Band:
standard calculation fields

a section subreport

----------------------------------
Pretty basic and all works well. Now, when designing at runtime (have not
tried it in design time) if I put some more standard fields in the summary
band as indicated above, they will not print until AFTER the subreport
prints. This has to do with 'creation order' because I discovered if you
'cut' the subreport and then paste it back, everything prints where you
expect it to. (I verified this, because as soon as I got it working, I
started adding more fields on the same line and then the first ones I added
printed correctly and the new ones went to the end of the report. I
cut/paste the subreport and all started working)

If you cannot reproduce, email me and I will help you anyway I can.

(Oh, I used JITPipeline for the first time since like version 4 and it is
WAY easier to use! Thanks!. While I am at it, when, oh when will we get
a preview of what kind of features/new versions you guys are working on if
any? I have been patiently waiting for a long time now ;-)

    That is how the report generation with a section style subreport works. The
    components in a band are printed based on their ZOrder, when a section style
    subreport exists.

    We will be at BorCon 2002, in California:)

    Sounds good, but that is what you said last time (aka borcon) :-)

    Anyway, even though I had a workaround for that, I now have a similar
    problem. I want to print another report (rbChild subsection) in the
    summary band right below the text fields I already have in the summary from
    the main dataset. (Remember I have an rbSection in this same summary).
    Now, if I do NOT have the rbSection type child in the report, it works
    perfectly. If I do have it, the rbChild subreport prints AFTER the
    rbsection no matter what I do.

    Can you help with that?
