Crystal Reports for Eclipse Designer Guide

Grouping data

Grouped data is data that is sorted and separated into meaningful groups. For example, a customer list may be sorted by Postal Code or Region. In a sales report, a group might consist of all orders placed by a particular customer or orders generated by a particular sales representative.
Group and sort direction
When data is grouped, the following sort and group direction options are available. Direction refers to the order in which the values are displayed:
  • Ascending
    Ascending order means smallest to largest (1 to 9, A to Z, False to True). The program sorts the records in ascending order and then begins a new group whenever the value changes.
  • Descending
    Descending order means largest to smallest (9 to 1, Z to A, True to False). The program sorts the records in descending order and then begins a new group whenever the value changes.
  • Specified order
    Specified order is an order that you customize for your needs. The program places each record into the custom group that you specify, leaving the records in each group in original order; or, it sorts them in ascending or descending order, depending on your instructions.
