I have a table with a textbox that's with an angle of 180. I would like the table to print the rows from bottom to top instead of top to bottom so the layout doesn't change when the table expands (instead of expanding down, I want it to expand up). Because the table is expanding down instead of up, it's causing items to go to the next page that are at the bottom of the report under the table. I tried working with Anchor and Docking, but couldn't seem to get this working. How could this be resolved?

Hi Matthew,
By design all items grow from top to bottom and from left to right, and when they grow, the items below/on the right are pushed down/right.
There is nothing different in the Table's behavior. To avoid pushing down of the items below the table, you may put the table inside a Panel, leave the panel big enough for the table after it is data bound, and put the rest of your items below the panel (as siblings of the panel). This way the table will grow inside the panel without affecting the other items position.
Hope this information helps.

I tried putting it in a panel... However, when the table expands down, the panel expands as well, if the table is at the bottom of the panel. To get an understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish, there the top half of the report displayed right-side up, and the bottom half rotated 180, so that when you fold the paper in half, it will be right-side up on both sides. So, here's something how it would look like:
Top Half Report (Not Rotated)
Stuff here
End Top Half Report
Bottom Half Report (Rotated 180)
table
stuff under table
End Bottom Half Report
If I put the table in a panel as you suggested, and I want my table to be directly above the stuff under table, I need to put it at the bottom of the panel. When the table has multiple rows, won't it cause the panel to expand and push the stuff underneath it down?

table
stuff under table

Hi Matthew Carr,
From the additional information you've provided we understand what you are trying to accomplish. Our reporting engine layouts all items from top to bottom and from left to right which suits for most given scenarios of data presentation. What you need is too custom to be handled.
