How to Change Report Name Apperarence Order in Report Catalog.

[gc_0620]

Folks, I am using Telerik Reporting Q1 2012 for Web (C#). I am new to Telerik Reporting.

Attached is screen shot of my Report Catalog. How do I change Report Name appearance order? I would like to see Report name appear in following order (Horizontal - Left to Right) not like how they appear in attached screen shot order.

1) Client Master Referrals 2) Client Master Intakes 3) Client Master No Show Cancellations

Right now when I create a new report, I do not know how to change the order appearance in Report Catalog.

Also I would like to know how to Change Report Name Label in Report Catalog. For Example: My actual name in Report #1 is ClientMasterReferrals.cs but I would like the label to be as Client Master Referrals or BHS Client Master Referrals. Quick question is can my report label be anything regardless of my actual report name or the Label name will always be inherited from actual report name?

Since I am beginner to Telerik Reporting, I just copied existing Telerik Report Catalog from Telerik Demo to my project but I am stuck with how to change the report name appearance order as well how to change the report name label.  

Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

The ReportCatalog demo report you've used as starting point uses CrossTab to show the available reports (or data in general). If you want to apply sorting to order your data, you can do this directly in your database query or use the Sortings property of the CrossTab to specify by which column it should be ordered. If there is no particular column that you want to use, you can create additional column in your database that would serve as Index (like we have done in the example to specify the number of "columns" that would be created).

Kind regards,

Sorry Steve, I really do not understand your suggestion. I did work with Telerik Radgrid; but Telerik Reporting is new to me.

Is it possible if you can send me a small solution with 2 projects (Report Library with 2 or more Telerik Reports and a Web Application)?  l am using Asp.net Ajax V 2012 Q2(Web), Telerik Reporting latest version 2012 Q2 (Released on 1st week of June 2012).  

I would like 2 columns in a sql Table for reports(Report Name and Description) and display them in Report Catalog. A new Table from Northwind will be fine.  I will appreciate that very much.

Thanks

Hi,

The sorting feauture of any databound control works in the same fashion, so nothing is different with reporting. As a general rule of thumb, you sort by a specific field from your data source, so that the order of the presented data changes. For example if you have a database column "Client Master Order" that specifies this explicit order in which you want those records to appear, you should set the Sortings property to that column, for more info see How-To: Add sorting to Table item and Crosstab item. If there is no such column, then add one for the sake of creating a certain order.

Additionally, you can do this sorting directly on your result set by using the ORDER BY keyword.

Kind regards,
