Currently, you are ordering records by

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

order by bill.member_id, 
         decode(items.item, 'MESSING', CHR(0), items.item)

As 'bill.member_id' is a CHARACTER item (not a NUMBER), does this fact leads you to conclusion that Reports Builder does not sort records properly? Because, in that case you'd get (for example)

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

what you have   what you want
-------------   -------------
A1              A1
A11             A2
A2              A4
A30             A11
A4              A30

If this is not the case, what is it, then? You didn't provide any input data or example of the output so all we can do is to guess blindly.

In that case, you'll have to move the LOCATION column into the Q_1 query and order by location first, i.e.

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

order by location, member_id, ...

In addition to Q_1, I also added location to Q_4 and applied your order by clause.

It works fine now...

Bundle of Thanks
