Sorting groups by number of rows contained

Postby rrr » Thu Nov 28, 2013 10:52 am

Hi,

I'm having some difficulties getting a simple sort working.

With lots of rows grouped by any value I'd like to sort it so that groups containing the most rows are listed first, etc.

Any input?

thanks

Hi Rrr,

You have to make your report a "top list":
specify a sort order on your total
set a max number of rows to include

Hi Bo

Thanks for the advice.

It doesn't work for me though. I'm not counting a number in each row, e.g. FX, but the number of rows.
I've set that up by adding a Total using Count. Then each group lists the total, as it should. But the sort is not kicking in.

See the attachment showing the sort-setting.

thanks

Br,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Have you set the top xx value?
It should work for count as well..

Here's a simple example:
