[AccessD] Sort order in report

MessageDoris,
sorry but no success :(
My report looks like:
1. Mike Thompson
    1. plum 155

2. Ervin Brindza

    1. orange 100

3. Ervin Brindza 

   1. apple 80

4. Mike Thompson

         1. orange 40

even I put the Customer name in the SumOfAmount's header or in Customer.Name's header the result is the same :(
Thanks for your input
    Ervin

  Change your sort order in the report to SumOfAmount desc, Customer.Name to get the result you desire.

    Hi,
    I need a little push to finish my report. I have 3 tables: Customer(Id, Name), Order(Id - the customer's Id, KeyFld - AutoNumber field, linked to the table OrderDet), OrderDet(KeyFld, Id - ordered item's Id, ItemName, Amount)
    The record source of the report is:
    SELECT CUSTOMER.Id, CUSTOMER.Name, ORDERDET.ItemName, ORDERDET.Id, Sum(ORDERDET.Amount) AS SumOfAmount

    FROM CUSTOMER INNER JOIN (ORDER INNER JOIN ORDERDET ON ORDER. KeyFld = ORDERDET.KeyFld) ON CUSTOMER.Id = ORDER.Id

    GROUP BY CUSTOMER.Id, CUSTOMER. CustName, ORDERDET.ItemName, ORDERDET.Id;

    And I want to list the customers along with their ordered items, but in descending order on the sum of amount they ordered(the ordered items are listed desc and that is ok). In the report's View/Sorting and grouping I put CUSTOMER.Name and SumOfAmount desc and I get customers listed by their name :(

    So, my report looks like:

    1. Ervin Brindza

        1. orange 100

        2. apple 80

    2. Mike Thompson

        1. plum 155

        1. orange 40

    but I want Mike Thompson to be listed first(he ordered 195) and after came Ervin Brindza(who ordered 180)

    Hope I was clear enough.

    Can anyone shed any light please?

    TIA,

        Ervin
