Ability to Sort Report Groupings

In reports, we can sort columns, why can we not sort groupings? For example, I have a report with 3 groupings. One of the groupings is our business units. We have reasons why we want to see these groupings in alpha order. WF confirms that we cannot sort our groupings. Odd that this isn't possible even in text mode (if I'm wrong on this, someone chime in). Please upvote!

Can say this is possible in Reporting Canvas, so it's absolutely coming. For now, I'd recommend adding the column in the view and sort (you can hide the column if you prefer)

Hi @Stephanie_Lou, long time no talk! ; )
I understand I can sort my results in the columns, but I am not able to sort the groupings themselves. See how your Team grouping is Design, then Content, Media, etc. - I want those to be alpha order. See how my business units groupings are not alpha order?

It's minor but I want it possible for other reports they are using from this report.

I am with you! Adding a column to match the grouping works but it's a pain to add an unwanted column just so you can sort by that and then have to hide it if you don't want it to be visible. I would LOVE to be able to sort the list by the grouping without having to add the column!

@Madalyn_Destafney - I understand better now with this screenshot. I agree that sorting should be available in groupings. If I'm lucky, I'll inherit these with the hopes that sorting will be available down the pike.
