Possible? Sorting within a sub-summary on a summary field

Hi All,

Been wrestling with this one ...

I've got a layout that has a sub-summary part, that sorts "Jobs" by the client's "name" and within that sub-summary part shows a summary field "total spent" = "Total" of invoices, ie

BBC....................spent 500.....no. of jobs3

Queen................spent 250.....no. of jobs4

R comes after Q..spent 800.....no. of jobs2

but what i'd like to see is the clients listed by the quantity of spend, ie

R comes after Q..spent 800.....no. of jobs2

BBC....................spent 500.....no. of jobs3

Queen................spent 250.....no. of jobs4

I'm guessing that this isn't possible because the records are collated on the name, and you can't include a summary field in the sub-summary part. Am i right, or is there a cunning work around?!

Many thanks,

Slater

ps apologies if in the wrong section
