Default Chapter 5 p 135

On page 135, the sample where we are to make a Recursive report (manager/employee) it says to 'select the sorting Tab and select the expression...'

I do not have a sorting tab.

I do have:

General
Filters
Visibility
Data Output

but that is all.

Also further down it talks about how to make the chart recursive by putting '=Level("OrgChart_Recursive") + 1' in the second detail field. It works, but how do I take that value and use it in my own reports?

Level is obviously a function (it even says so in the book) but what does "OrgChart_Recursive" equal. It isn't the name of my table or my form. If I want to re-use the code in another report how do I know what value to put in those quotes? What element/object is that?

The report works by the way, despite not having a sort tab and despite my lack of understanding where "OrgChart_Recursive" is coming from.

Yes. The sorting was redundant with the data set's sort order so it was dropped. We're updating the book to reflect this. You can ignre this setting.
