 <h1>Orders</h1>

 <p>Orders are used to sort the data in your report, so that it is in the required alphabetical or numerical order.</p>
 <p>You can add, edit and delete orders using the &quot;Orders&quot; tab of the
 <a href="EasiReporter.Dialogs.Report.htm">Report Properties Dialog</a>.</p>
 <p>Orders can be ascending ( ASC ) or descending ( DESC ).</p>
<p>The report Orders will usually match the 
report <a href="EasiReporter.Topics.SectionPairs.htm">Section Pairs</a>. So if you have a section 
pair on Customers.CustomerID, then you probably 
want an order on Customers.CompanyName.</p>
 <p>You probably also want an extra order for your Details section.</p>
 <p>For example, if your report has the following section pairs :</p>
 <pre class="Code">&nbsp;</pre>
 <pre class="Code">Outer Section Pair on Outer.OuterID</pre>
 <pre class="Code">Inner Section Pair on Inner.InnerID</pre>
 <pre class="Code">&nbsp;</pre>
 <p>Then you probably want the following orders :</p>
 <pre class="Code">&nbsp;</pre>
 <pre class="Code">Outer.OuterName ASC</pre>
 <pre class="Code">Inner.InnerName ASC</pre>
 <pre class="Code">Details.DetailsName ASC</pre>
 <pre class="Code">&nbsp;</pre>

I discovered C# and .NET 1.0 Beta 1 in late 2000 and loved them immediately.
I have been writing software professionally in C# ever since

In real life, I have spent 3 years travelling abroad,
I have held a UK Private Pilots Licence for 20 years,
and I am a PADI Divemaster.

I now live near idyllic Bournemouth in England.

I can work 'virtually' anywhere!
