Organizing data in a report : Sorting data : Sorting data in a merged column

Sorting data in a merged column

When working with merged columns, if you choose Sort from the right-arrow menu, Select Data Item appears, as shown in Figure 4-6, providing a drop-down list of data items in the merged column.

Figure 4-6  Selecting a data item

From the drop-down list, select the item on which to sort data. Choose OK.

You can now sort data in each of the columns, as described in the previous sections of this document. To modify each line of data in the merged column, you must repeat this step for each data item, then define the sort order, each time.
