Group Sorting Screen (Report Creation Wizard)

Use the Group Sorting screen to sort groups you created on the Grouping Screen. You can sort all groups, or you can choose the top or bottom 5 groups. When sorting by the top or bottom 5 groups, you can also choose the summarized field you want to base the sorting on.

This screen appears only if you've specified a group on the Grouping Screen and a summary on the Summaries Screen. Creating a group sort is an optional step in the wizard.

Group that will be sorted
Select the group to be sorted from a list of groups you created on the Grouping screen.
Group ordering options
Select a group sorting option.

If you choose Top 5 or Bottom 5, your report displays data for only those groups; no other groups appear on your report.

Comparing summary values
If you've chosen Top 5 or Bottom 5 as your group ordering option, you must select a summarized field to base the sorting on. The choices that appear in this list are the summaries you created on the Summaries screen.
