Sorting determines the sequence that information displays within your report.

Grouping "collects" data in sections under group headings. You can specify up to three levels of grouping. Group options are available on most, but not all, reports.

Sequence fields

Order  

Select the desired sequence: ascending or descending.

You may sort by as many fields as you like. Lower level fields will be sorted within the respective higher level fields.

Group

Page Break

Check to force a page break before each new grouping section.
