Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Run the following code to create the databases and tables needed. This

   example uses the existing sample database (Testdata.dbc), so you need to
   have the samples installed for this example to work.

      *
      * REPTSET.PRG: Setup code for duplicating problem
      *
      CLOSE ALL
      CREATE DATABASE CUSTVW
      CREATE SQL VIEW CUSTVW1 AS SELECT CUST_ID,COMPANY,MAXORDAMT;
         FROM C:\VFP\SAMPLES\DATA\TESTDATA!CUSTOMER
      OPEN DATABASE C:\VFP\SAMPLES\DATA\TESTDATA
      USE ORDERS
      COPY TO ORDER.DBF
      CLOSE ALL
      CREATE DATABASE CUSTOMER
      ADD TABLE ORDER
      USE ORDER
      INDEX ON CUST_ID TAG CUST_ID DESCENDING
      CLOSE ALL

2. Open the new databases Custvw and Customer.

3. Run the One-to-Many Report Wizard. (On the Tools menu, click Wizards,

   and then click Report.

4. From Custvw.dbc database, choose the Custvw1 view for the parent table

   and add all the fields.

5. From the Customer.dbc database, choose the Order table and several

   fields including Cust_Id. For example, choose Order_Id, Cust_Id and
   Order_Amt. Set Cust_Id is as the matching field for both tables in
   step 3.

6. Under Sort Order (step 4 of the Report Wizard), choose Cust_Id -

   descending.

7. Choose finish and preview. You will see that the report is in Cust_Id

   ascending order even though you specified descending order.
