I've a dataset with year, month and a count. Building a chart on this data is no problem. The dates are sorted well. But if i add a field to dataset the ordering is gone and when i delete the field from the dataset, the ordering is still not right. So i'm trying to force the ordering in the chart but it's not working. What am i doing wrong? Perhaps i'm making a bad assumption about datasets. I want to used a dataset for multiple charts on my report for a one pass approach to the db. Hennie
