Hi all,

I have a pivot table based on a large set of sales data (20000 rows).
It includes many various customers and products, therefore the drop
down lists for the page fields are very long. This used not to be an
issue as they were in alphabetical order. However, as I've added new
data, the list is no longer in alphabetical order. Can anyone explain
why that is? Does it simply add new items to the bottom of the list?
Is there a way to force it to re-sort in order to incorporate the new
data?

I'd rather not re-create the pivot table every time. It has several
calculated fields and extensive formatting.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes, Pivot Tables add new data to the bottom of the list out of alphabetical
order.

If you double click on the page field on the pivot table, the cell to the
left of the frop down, select Advanced and then Under AutoSort Options,
select Ascending.
