I am sure someone out there has done this.
I have a report and a graph which show revenue trend over the past 12 months. My only problem is I am sorting by month. it sorts it by the number of the month from highest to lowest or lowest to highest, what I would like to do is have it start with the current month and go back 12 months. so if I am running the report in September my report would display revenue for Sep,Aug,Jul,Jun,May,April,March,Feb,Jan,Dec,Nov,Oct. I know I could do this in a define filed with a very long if statement, I am hoping someone has come up with a quicker easier way.
