How to sort in ascending order first the date field then the time field on a report?

I have a report named "Chart 1 - Events" that I am trying to have the Date field then the Time field sort in ascending order automatically when the report is opened.

The query works fine, however the report does not sort.

In Reports, Access completely ignores any sorting in the underlying query if you have defined anything in the Grouping/Sorting dialog.

What is the "Grouping/Sorting dialog" and where can it be found?

Sorry, I found it.

Thanks
Also ... remove the sorting from the query, because Access still (wastefully) does the sort :-)
