Hello, I need to sort the rows of my report according to dataset field X. This field contains numbers from 1 to 10. When I set sorting of a certein Row Group in Group Properties to dataset field X, it won't work properly because dataset field X is of type TEXT: 1 10 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 How can I change the type of dataset field X to numeric in order to get the following sorting order: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Thanks axel

Sorting expression =CInt(Fields!X.Value) does the job!

just use this in the sorting expression: =Cint(Fields!x.value) Cheers, Srid Malt

=cint() function will do the job for u Amit
