Matrix Last Column Sort Descending

I would like to sort the following matrix data:
July-07 Aug-07 Sep-07
Type A 5 1 4
Type B 6 3 3
Type C 4 2 6
Other 5 5 5
by the maximum date column (i.e. Sep), please note this month will
change each month
July-07 Aug-07 Sep-07
Type C 4 2 6
Type A 5 1 4
Type B 6 3 3
Other 5 5 5
I have tried the following in: Properties / Groups / Rows / Sorting
EXPRESSION
=IIF(Fields!Date.Value = Max(Fields!Date.Value), IIF(Fields!Type.Value
= "Other", -100, Fields!Amount.Value), -1000)
DIRECTION
Descending
With no success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you might be able to get away with:
=iif(Fields!Date.Value = Max(Fields!Date.Value), Fields!
ValueField.Value, 0): Direction: Desc
If this does not work, you may need to sort based on an additional
field added to the returned dataset that has its value determined in
the stored procedure/query that is sourcing the report; possibly, via
cursor or while loop.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for you suggestions. I have now added a column into the SP
called Rank, this ranks the last months data by amount, I then try to
sort the ROW by Rank and still no success.
Thanks

You're welcome. Are you sorting the main group in the matrix control
by the Rank column? If not, this might help.

The Rank column is calucated in T-SQL, it is based on the amount
value, which is the coulmn of data in the matrix table. To add to my
worries, my chart is no longer working (which I think is related to
Rank), at least it's Friday :-)

ORDER BY
Date DESC
Rank
in SP worked perfectly :-)
thanks for your help|||On Sep 23, 4:36 pm, sez...@.gmail.com wrote:
