Grouping and sorting

Data in reports can be grouped and sorted in a variety of ways. Sorting and
grouping tools provide a great deal of flexibility for customizing reports.

Grouping the report

In many reports you need to break the data into groups in order to make it
easier to read and to understand. Crystal Reports lets you do this easily. For
this customer list, you will group the customers by region and then sort the
customers alphabetically within each group.

To group a report

1.

While on the Design tab, click Insert Group on the Insert Tools

toolbar.

The Insert Group dialog box appears.

2.

Select Region from the Customer table in the first drop-down list.
