Column Sorting

I want to be able to allow a user of a report to sort the records returnedc in a table control based on the column heading they select.

ie say the report returns a list of properties as row headings then a list of cost categories as column headings with cost values as the data. I want the user to be able to click on a column heading say a cost castegory of 'Cleaning' i then want the report to order the properties by 'Cleaning Value'

Is that possoble?
cheers.... anyone...

In the June 2005 CTP, there's a new feature called Interactive Sort that does precisely what you're talking about. To access it, open up the properties of the header's text box and navigate to the Interactive Sort tab of the dialog.|||Sorry whats June 2005 CTP is it to do with SQL Reporting Services?

CTP - Community Technology Preview. It's a post-Beta release of the new Reporting Services 2005 due out this year. More information at -> http://www.microsoft.com/sql/2005/productinfo/ctp.mspx

As far as i know, the interactive sort was not available previous to this version. I was using a previous beta release of the 2005 edition and it did not have this capability.

|||cheers for this i guess i will have to just wait!
