Overview
Description
Grouped reports may have various subtotals, totals, and lists. In this case, you may wonder how to sort them layer by layer according to each grouping.
As shown in the following figure, you can sort the Salesperson Subtotal first, then the Product Type Subtotal, and finally the Product List.
Solution
The sorting of different values is totaled based on the left parent cell, so you can use the Sort After Expansion function on the corresponding left parent cell to make it.
