Hi

Very easy one for you all....How do I set the sort order in a pivot table so
it sorts descending in the sum of... total column?

I am using Excel 97.

Thanks

Right click on the colum of members (leftmost column) and choose FIELD
SETTINGS. Then click on the ADVANCED button. You should see 3 options for
sorting - Manual, Ascending and descending. Choose descending and then pick
the total column (e.g. Sum Of ...).
