I made a project for software in vb.net and I use a crystal report where I used a view which I made in sql server 2000 and then I attached it by wizard.
There it shows all fields and its works fine but I need to ask that I am using there is a field which is shows a date which is saved in my sql database like this:

dd/mm/yy ( 10/11/2010)

So, my question is if anyone could tell me how I can sort this field here by date?

You can bring the data already ordered using the SQL (SELECT * FROM YOURTABLE ORDER BY YOURFIELD ASC). Or you can use the table property of Crystal Report and select the column to be ordered.

About the data format, you can use
FormatDateTime(DateTime.Now, DateFormat.ShortTime)

If you are in USA, for example, it will show you 10:20 pm, but, if you are in Brazil, for example, it will show you 22:20

Hope I could've helped you.
