Hello All,
I am having a Cross Tab with years as the "row part" and month as String
as the column names (Jan, Feb, Mar, ...)
Now Birt automatically sort the months alfabetically: Apr, Aug, Dec, ...
Cannot find a way to avoid that, any ideas?
Thanks,
Tero

Tero,
Can you try to put a sort on the crosstab with an expression similar to:
if( dimension["DateGroup"]["month"] == "Jan" ){
1;
}else if( dimension["DateGroup"]["month"] == "Feb" ){
2;
}else if..
..

Tero,
Are the month names in a Date dimension?

Tero,
I am pretty sure the date dimension will order correctly.
