how would one sort data on a report

Hi Sofia, Thank you for your post, in answer to your question;

Sorting Records on a Report;
1. Start Microsoft Access, and then open the database that you are working with.
2. Open the report in Design view.
3. On the View menu, click the Sorting and Grouping button to display the Sorting and Grouping dialog box.
4. In the first row of the Field/Expression column, select a field name or type an expression.
NOTE: When you fill in the Field/Expression column, Microsoft Access sets the sort order to Ascending.
5. You can sort on up to 10 fields or expressions in a report. To sort your report on more than one field, add another field or expression to the Field/Expression column. The field or expression in the first row is the first sorting level. The second row is the second sorting level, and so on. I hope that has helped, obviously this is for a report that has already been created, if you are creating a report from scratch, the sorting and grouping options are available in the Report Wizard, if it has helped, please click the Resolved link, best regards Pete
