Sorting SubReports

[Lyckosam]

Is there a way to sort subreport at run time ? I can sort the main report but having a difficult time to sort a subreport at run time.

Do you mean altering the sortation at runtime? Runtime being from within Crystal or external code?

You might create a parameter to alter sortation, but you might consider posting technical information, such as Crystal version, etc.

This sort of post simply leads to additional requests for information.

Thanks for your reply...
I am preety new to Crystal reports so pardon my questions or comments...

I am using Crystal Reports for .Net
I use XML schema as the DataSet....

This is how i sort my main Report :
FieldDefinition FieldDef = null;
try{FieldDef = tr3.Database.Tables[1].Fields[this.cmbSort.Text];}
catch{}
if(FieldDef != null)
{
if(tr3.DataDefinition.SortFields.Count > 0)
{
tr3.DataDefinition.SortFields[0].Field = FieldDef;

if(this.rdBtnAsc.Checked == true)
{
tr3.DataDefinition.SortFields[0].SortDirection = SortDirection.AscendingOrder ;
}
else
{
tr3.DataDefinition.SortFields[0].SortDirection = SortDirection.DescendingOrder ;
}
}
}
and it works absolutely fine...
I have a sub report in this main report :
I use the same above function to sort it ...but it doesn't work.
the only difference is instead of {FieldDef = tr3.Database.Tables[1].Fields[this.cmbSort.Text];}
i use
{FieldDef = tr3.Database.Tables[0].Fields[this.cmbSort.Text];}

I make it sort on the Column Name which the user can choose from a drop down list..
If you need any other information pls let me know...
If there is any other way i can make it sort i would appreciate your help.....
Thanks
