Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Run the following code to create the databases and tables needed. This example uses the existing sample database (Testdata.dbc), so you need to have the samples installed for this example to work.
          *
          * REPTSET.PRG: Setup code for duplicating problem
          *
          CLOSE ALL
          CREATE DATABASE CUSTVW
          CREATE SQL VIEW CUSTVW1 AS SELECT CUST_ID,COMPANY,MAXORDAMT;
             FROM C:\VFP\SAMPLES\DATA\TESTDATA!CUSTOMER
          OPEN DATABASE C:\VFP\SAMPLES\DATA\TESTDATA
          USE ORDERS
          COPY TO ORDER.DBF
          CLOSE ALL
          CREATE DATABASE CUSTOMER
          ADD TABLE ORDER
          USE ORDER
          INDEX ON CUST_ID TAG CUST_ID DESCENDING
          CLOSE ALL
    						
  2. Open the new databases Custvw and Customer.
  3. Run the One-to-Many Report Wizard. (On the Tools menu, click Wizards, and then click Report.
  4. From Custvw.dbc database, choose the Custvw1 view for the parent table and add all the fields.
  5. From the Customer.dbc database, choose the Order table and several fields including Cust_Id. For example, choose Order_Id, Cust_Id and Order_Amt. Set Cust_Id is as the matching field for both tables in step 3.
  6. Under Sort Order (step 4 of the Report Wizard), choose Cust_Id - descending.
  7. Choose finish and preview. You will see that the report is in Cust_Id ascending order even though you specified descending order.
