generate cross-tab begin from last record

rbuser

i am trying to design report using the cross-tab features :

1. i found that the cross-tab generate the report starting from the last
record .... why r this hapenning e.g i view record 1000 at the top then the
record 1 at the bottom ...?
am i missing any setting ? how to make 1st record to be shown 1st?

2. i also facing another problem on cross-tab, when i view the report that
cannot show all the column record, it will print all the half left portion
first then followed by all the ramaining right portion ... ( sth like record
1 to 1000 record left portion then follow by record 1 to 1000 right portion)
can i made it to be view that the viewer will show the complete left portion
and right portion for the same record ..?

TIA

The crosstab sorts the data so that it is alphabetically ordered. You can
change the sort from ascending to descending if you want to reverse it.

The crosstab will not try to squeeze the output to fit on one page. It
simply tries to generate over multiple pages until it is finished. You can
replace the crosstab renderer, though it isn't easy, it is possible. See
ppCTRend.pas for an example of creating a crosstab renderer.
