hello to all,,,
I am having a matrix report, which has its column cells from table A
and row cells from table B
when I run the report the columns and rows are not ordered
I wrote the order by statement in the report query but there was no defference.
I also wrot a subquery like
select column1, column2, (select column3 from table1 order by code)
from .... but it seems I can not order in a subquery
Is there any way to do that
help please

See whether the break order is correctly set.

The colums I want to order are based on their code not their values

I tried what littlefoot adviced. but it ordered the cells based on their value.
I want to order them based on their primary key.
the primary keys of both tables are not included in my report query

thanks littlefoot it worked .
I included the primary key in the query previously and set the break order on the primary key
but the ordering seemed wrong because I forgot that it was saved as a varchar so I used to numbers(to_number(code))
and it worked. thanks again
