Thank you for the reply. The reason is that some firms have several
branches, so to distinguish one entry from another panel I choose to use a
unique code.
I would welcome any ideas or suggestions on any easy way to change numeric
codes to name of the firm in the second panel.

Victor,
The way you are linking (using the numeric ID code) makes this
difficult. Is
there a reason you can't link on the firm name instead?

Subject: [Dataperf] Controlling sort order in a (sub) report
I would like have a particular sort order in a subreport based on the
following criteria.
There are two panels:
1. The first panel contains names and addresses of law firms (each name
has an additional unique code)
2. The second panel contains two fields, a field for the unique code to
the law firm and a field for the legal specialism of that firm. There
is a
panel link from the second panel to the first on the code.
In the seocond panel I wish to create a two-level report based on legal
specialism with a sub-report for the name of the firm from the first
panel. This produces the report as expected except for one thing.
The sorting of the name of the firm from the first panel is controlled
by
the unique code. Ie the name of the firm is sorted numerically according
to the order of the unique code. The unique code numbering does not
match
the alphabetical order of the name of firms.
What I would like to acheive is the sub-report is sorted according to
the
alphabetical order of the name of the firm.
I would be grateful to know if this possible.
