I was wondering how to send a parameter that deals with the sorting and/or grouping of the report. Thanks for the help.

I'm having the same problem too... does any one here can provide soem solution or guidelines?

u can easily set a group or Sort Item among ur Data Fields.

I had set a sorting parameter in crystal report that when i refresh, i will be prompted for the parameter values...
But now i had to pass a parameter from jsp to crystal report, so that it dynamically sorted the report with different colunms each call...
do you familiar with jsp and CR10?

I actually had created the same from the sample code from crystal report official page, but the parameter passed into CR did not take any effect that changes the outcome.... here the partial from my jsp code:

String userName = "";
String passWord = "";
String path = "/Report3.rpt";
Fields fields = new Fields();

ParameterField pfield1 = new ParameterField();
Values vals1 = new Values();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue pfieldDV1 = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();

pfield1.setName("SortOrder");
pfieldDV1.setValue("C");
vals1.add(pfieldDV1);
pfield1.setCurrentValues(vals1);
fields.add(pfield1);

IReportSourceFactory2 rsf = new JPEReportSourceFactory();
IReportSource rptSource = (IReportSource)rsf.createReportSource(path,request .getLocale());
CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();

/*create the connection infos object and set the user name and password
  to the report*/
  ConnectionInfos connInfos = new ConnectionInfos();
  IConnectionInfo connInfo1 = new ConnectionInfo();
  connInfo1.setUserName(userName);
  connInfo1.setPassword(passWord);

  //add the IConnectionInfo object into the ConnectionInfo collection
  connInfos.add(connInfo1);

  //set the connectioninfo into the viewer
  viewer.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
  viewer.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
viewer.setReportSource(rptSource);
viewer.setParameterFields(fields);
viewer.setEnableParameterPrompt(true);
if (session.getAttribute("refreshed") == null)
{
    viewer.refresh();
    session.setAttribute("refreshed", "true");
}
viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response,getServletConfig().getServletContext(), out);
viewer.dispose();
