Clearing sorts from a report

You can clear any sorts that have been applied to a given report.

When you have overridden the default sort settings for a report to satisfy an ad hoc need for data display, once that requirement is no longer current you can clear the ad hoc sort settings to return sorting either to its default settings or to different custom ones.

To clear sorts from a report

1. Run the desired report. (For steps to run a report, see Running a report.)

2. From the Data menu, select Advanced Sorting. The Sorting dialog box opens.

3. On the Rows tab, select a sort and click Remove to clear the sort settings for that row. Alternatively, to clear the sort settings for all rows, click Remove All.

4. Select the Columns tab.

5. Select a sort and click Remove to clear sort settings for that column. Alternatively, to clear the sort settings for all columns, click Remove All.

6. Click OK to return to the report.

7. To retain the new sort settings, save the report. How?
