Sorting Pivottable by vba not working

CODE

Me.subfrmDeliveries.Form.PivotTable.ActiveView.FieldSets("Prom Date").Fields("Prom Date").SortDirection = plSortDirectionAscending

I'm happy the code is correct, but the pivottable is not sorting correctly, it's sorting by the "PO Number" (First field in the Pivot table)

The "Prom Date" is in date format and no matter what I do the Pivottable sorts by the "PO Number" field instead

Can anyone help please?

Cheers
Chris

Please paste a representative sample of the sort results.

Here's an example
_______________FZ7442____|___FZ7448___|___FZ7456__|
_____________|_13/04/12__|__12/04/12__|__13/04/12_|
Part Number__|
12345________|__100______|_____100____|____100____|

The FZ numbers are the order numbers.

It should be sorting like:

_______________FZ7448____|___FZ7442___|___FZ7456__|
_____________|_12/04/12__|__13/04/12__|__13/04/12_|
Part Number__|
12345________|__100______|_____100____|____100____|

Hope this helps

Cheers

I would guess that your 'dates' are being sorted as STRINGS.

To verify, right-click the date field icon in the PT and select GROUP and report what options you have.
