I have a report that I created, I want to sort the report by the words High, Medium, low. But if I use ascending order I sort by High, Low, Medium, and if I sort by descending I sort by Medium, Low, High. How do I fix this so I sort by High, then Medium, and finally Low.

Thanks,

Darkhat
 
I think you will need to add a sort number through a query.
 
You can create an expression in the Sorting and Grouping like:
=Instr("HML",Left([Some Unknown Field Name],1))
