How do you change a sql query in a report without re-doing the report. Using 10.2 with Visual Studio Pro 2005. You can show sql query but I don't see how to change without starting over. I also tried to base a report on a sql view(query) but it seemed not to pickup all the elements of the view like multiple by order parameters.

Depending on the database, you may be able to set the CommandText and use that in place of the tables from the Database Expert.  CommandText is one or more SQL queries.  If you're Crystal allows this for your database, you'll see "Add CommandText" just below the name of your database connection after you've opened the connection.
 
As for the order by, do you have groups and/or sorts in you report.  If so, they will override any order that's used in the view.

We are using MSSQL 2005. I'll try the command text route. I am using Groups. It is a company directory based on a SQL table and the grouping is by store, which we have 31 of them. The order would be within the store group; department, display order, name where you could force a name high like a manager of a department by setting a display order that overrides the alpha name sort.

You probably also should try setting the sorts in Crystal (they don't have to be groups!) as that will make sure that the sorts happen.
