Reverse Place Names Report

Hello All,

I apologise if this has been asked before, but I have done a search and can't find the answer.

I am interested in producing a custom report similar to the Places Report but which lists the columns in reverse order, i.e., County (in my case) first.

I can use Tools > Work with Data > Places to get a list and ticking the 'Reverse Display Order' gives me exactly what I want. But I don't seem to be able to get this into a Report (which I could then use on a Web export, e.g.).

Any ideas gratefully received!

Thanks, Adrian

I can't think of a quick way, other than saving the Data Places report as a text file (with CSV extension) and using excel or similar to sort it as you want.

Thanks Jane. I'm happy to do that for my needs, but ideally I wanted to include it as a report on my Web page output (and I'm too lazy to do that and code the html!).

I'm quite new to the queries/reports elements and I just wondered if I'd missed a trick in being able to configure them in this particular way.

Anyway, thanks for the response.

Adrian
