Crystal Reports for Eclipse Designer Guide

How to sort your data

In single field sorting, all the records used in the report are sorted based on the values in a single field. Sorting an inventory report by stock number or sorting a customer list by customer number are examples of single field sorts.
In multiple field sorts, the Crystal Reports Designer first sorts the records based on the values in the first field selected, putting them in ascending or descending order as specified. If two or more records have a matching field value in the first sort field, the matching records are sorted by the value in the second sort field.
For example, if you choose to sort first by the {CUSTOMER.COUNTRY} field and then by the {CUSTOMER.REGION} field, both in ascending order, the report would appear with countries listed in alphabetic order, and regions within each country listed in alphabetic order. Any other fields, such as the postal codes within each region, would remain unsorted.
You create single or multiple field sorts using the same procedure.
