Hi Lisa.
There may be a better way, but I've attached one I did recently (we're Magic 
5.4.1) - 

Report for Pathology Cases by Date. User can choose to Sort by (D)ept or (S)pec 
Type or (L)ocation. User can choose to Show Detail?=Y/N.

For the example you mentioned below, do you mean to "have a choice at the 
select prompt" ... of what to sort by?

If yes, then I would create a placeholder custom field:
xx.choose.sort
DAT=FREE
JFY=L
LEN=1
VAL=1

Then, setup that field in your selects like so (it may be necessary to edit the 
picture to get the label to show well):
   Select Field/Prompt or Value              Oper/Default or Ke
1  xx.choose.sort                                IG
        SORT BY (R)M#,(A)CCT#, or (P)AT NAME

Then, setup another custom field to take the user's choice and translate it to 
its field:
xx.translate.choice 
DAT=FREE
JFY=L
LEN=50
VAL=IF{c.xx.choose.sort="R" @room;c.xx.choose.sort="A" @acct.number;
VAL=c.xx.choose.sort="P" @name}

Then, place that field in the Sort Area:
    Sort Field                                 Order  Header  Trailer  Renumber 
Page
 1  xx.translate.choice                         ASC    KEY       Y


I hope this helps you.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all.
Thanks,

======================================

Is it possible to have a choice at the select prompt? (i.e. Room #, Account #, 
or Patient Name) using just one selection.  Any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks.
