Solved my problem... If you just want a report simply ordered by one column, the Detail object within the report container has an Order By property - I must have missed it. Next dumb question; how do you break a page at a set number of rows? I have tweaked the height of the fields and the Detail object, but can't get quite what I want - anyone know the property name for this if there is one?
