Maddy:<br /><br />You can turn the OLAP option on for your report and each column will have active sort arrows at the top of each column, or you can use this tip posted previously:<br /><br /> https://forums.informationbuilders.com/eve/forums/a/...791077331#1791077331 <br /><br />Hope this helps,<br /><br />Tim

Yes, you can sort the report by columns.

-* File test.fex
-DEFAULT &SORTFLD='COUNTRY';
-DEFAULT &DIRECTION='LOWEST';

-SET &DIRECTION = IF &DIRECTION EQ 'LOWEST' THEN 'HIGHEST' ELSE 'LOWEST';

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY MODEL BODYTYPE DEALER_COST
BY &DIRECTION &SORTFLD NOPRINT
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TITLE, COLUMN=P1, FOCEXEC=TEST.FEX(SORTFLD='COUNTRY' \
DIRECTION='&DIRECTION'),$
TYPE=TITLE,COLUMN=P2,FOCEXEC=TEST.FEX(SORTFLD='MODEL' \
DIRECTION='&DIRECTION'),$
ENDSTYLE
END

Make sure you save the code Kamesh posted as a fex called "test". The program works correctly for me.

Maddy:

I am getting the same results as you were, where the code is displayed on the screen when the column title is clicked.

What change to the code did you make to correct this?

Thanks,
Tim
