Hi All,
Very NEW to Crystal Reporting and need help!!  Cry
 
In this report I have two groupings by different numbers. The first group sorts fine as I am just needing the regular ascending order. It is the second grouping of a number that I am having trouble with. Are you ready for fun?

 

It is a six digit number that I need to sort in ascending order by the last two digits  à If there is a match in the last two digits then I need to sort off of the last four digits à and if there is a match (with the four digits) then the number sorts on the complete six digits. 

 
I was able to create new formula fields [Right (MRN,2) , Right (MRN,4) , Right (MRN,6)] and sort the numbers correctly on a detail section of a different report but I have no clue as to how to do the same using the Group Expert.
 
I am using Crystal XI
 
Please know that any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!

I think if you create a formula field recreateing the field in that sequence then group on that (instead of the MRN field) you should get the correct ordering (set to ascending). YOu can suppress this field so it does not display.
if it is a text field then:
Right (table.MRN,2) +"-" + Right (MRN,4) + "-" + Right (MRN,6)
if it is numeric then
Right (totext(table.MRN,0,""),2) +"-" + Right (totext(table.MRN,0,""),4) + "-" + Right (totext(table.MRN,0,""),6)
