Sorting/grouping the information in a tabular report

You can apply a sort/group to a tabular report, to order the tasks and allocations that appear in the report. If you apply a sort/group to a report, the tasks in the report are sorted/grouped first, then the allocations associated with the sorted/grouped tasks.

Sorts/groups can include subheadings that show the sort/group criteria of the sorted/grouped objects. For example, if you sort/group tasks on a code library and enable banding, tasks are grouped together according to the code they have been assigned from the code library, and you can display a subheading with details of the code assigned to the group of tasks. If you apply a sort/group to a tabular report, you can specify whether or not to display the sort/group's subheadings using any formatting that has been applied to them.

You can apply a sort/group to a tabular report using the Sort/group criteria field on the Details tab of the Tabular Report Properties dialog, or using the Tabular Report Wizard, as part of the tabular report creation process. If you want to display the sort/group's subheadings with their formatting, select the Use sort/group sub-heading format check box.
