Sorting in Details Section

[spelhank]

I am working in Crystal Standard 8.5 with a SQL Database. Trying to create a simple report. In one of my details sections, I want to put a memo field below a text field. Since the text field can "grow" into the memo field, I created another section in details and dropped the memo field into details section b.

Even though it is section b and not a, and everything else sorts in ascending order, the details, section b memo field prints before the details, section a text field. Even when I change the group sort to "descending" this occurs. It also occurs when I swap the data to the other section.

How can I get the memo field to print after the text field (i.e., details b print after details a)?

Check details a, it sounds like you turned on the underlay following section.

Or it could be that the first element of the group sort is blank, giving the illusion that it's printing below details B.

No, the underlay following section is not on. What would be the "first element of the group sort". It is being sorted by the record number, so It should print record number 1 then details a, details b.

Instead I am getting record number 1 then details b, details a. In the details b section, the only field in that section is the memo field that I am wanting to print second.
