Hi BrianFord,

Make sure you don't have sorting saved in the report.

<div>
Are you grouping on Date? &nbsp;If so, are you setting the sort on the details or within the group? &nbsp;It should be set within he group.

Are you grouping on Date?  If so, are you setting the sort on the details or within the group?  It should be set within he group.

<div>
the sort is actually being done in the underlying sql view and this can be seen in the first screenshot although I am grouping by the date in the report, how do I change the sort order in the report grouping?

I have an SSRS report which is not sorting the data as I expect it.

The SQL query has an order by on a date column in DESCENDING order and when I run the query everything is fne, however when I preview or deploy the report it is orderd by the date column in ASCENDING order.

Has anyone come across this before, what am I missing??

Sorting problem in SQL Server Reporting Services

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Microsoft SQL Server

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a server-based report generation software system from Microsoft. It can prepare and deliver a variety of interactive and printed reports and is administered via a web interface or its web service. Its web services interface also supports the development of custom reporting applications. Finally, SSRS can also be integrated with SharePoint. SSRS competes with other business intelligence tools, most prominently Crystal Reports.
