Help in sorting

Hello - check attached qvw file

I got a straight table and is giving correct result in terms of sorting

I'm sorting data by Due Date

However when I convert it to pivot table it no more sorts by due date as one of the records is not in the correct position

Please advise on how to make the sorting the same in the two charts  (the pivot table is the one needed)

In straight table, you can sort according to any column.

But in pivot table, you have to sort it first according to the first dimension, then according to the next, etc.

You cannot sort it any way you want.


check enclosed file.

provide your sample app.. As already said you can't sort same way as straight table in pivot table.

You need to sort by first dimension first and then 2nd dimension and so on..
