Order of Sections?

I have a report with multiple sections. Each section has different fields.
Each section is a sub report. Is there any way to change the section order
with code? i.e. we will not know the correct section order for the report at
design time.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks
 
From what you've described, I can infer that you are working with a database
report of some kind, although even that is not entirely certain. But a
database report typically may contain "sub reports." Apparently, you are
also working with some kind of programming code. As to what sort of database
(if any) the report is associated with, what software technology is used to
create the report, and the nature of the programming code, that information
is only apparent to you. Therefore, it is impossible to answer your
question. There is a correlation between the quality of a response to a
question and the quality of the information given in the question.
Therefore, I would suggest that you ask again, and provide enough
information to receive an authoritative answer.

Hi,

Thank you for the response. We are using C# (Visual Studio 2005) and the
database containing the data is SQL 2005. We are currently attempting this in
a Crystal Report but we are also happy to use SQL Reporting Services or any
other solution you can recommend. The main problem is the data we want to
display is in logical sections. We do not know the correct order to display
these logical sections at design time. For Example:

Logical section 1 is Meetings
Fields = Date, Comments.

Logical Section 2 is People
Fields = First Name, Last Name, Email Address

Sometimes when the report runs section 1 will be first, another time section
2 should come first. There could be up to 10 logical sections, order always
different each time report is run depending on user selection.

Thanks for your help.
 
I'm afraid I have no experience with Crystal Reports. However, now that your
question has been framed correctly, perhaps someone else might answer who
does have experience with Crystal Reports. Another option would be to post
this question to a Crystal Reports support forum.
