Hi Lee,
try exporting the results to a new table and do the sort and report from that table.

I can get the result I require except that it will not sort by the final total as its a summary field and the sort command will not sort by a summary field

I should have also advised that a number of entries are made with numerical performance levels for each client for each category by a number of 'judges'. Therefore there could be 10 scoring 'cards' for each client to be summarised within each category.

Hi,
I have a little difficulty in achieving a simple result.
I have records that contain numerical data.
For example a client name, list of numbers that relate to , say performance for a specific category.
So I would have (John, 5, 4, 5, 4, 4 totaling 22 in category Blue)
I also have many other clients scoring in a range of other categories as well as Blue with similar data. I'm trying to create a summary that will list each category with the highest performing client and their total for each category in order of attainment.
I can get a summary list in many ways but not this specific one
I would like to see
Blue      Peter Smith    58
Blue      John Brown   56
Blue      Paul Simon    53
Red       John Dixon     88
Red       Brian Brown   82
Red       Walter Judd     75
etc
Currently I have two tables, one contains client data and a related table contains the client ID (link). The scores are entered in the related table.

Hopefully there is a simple answer.

Lee
