I have a query that sorts correctly on ClientNo field.
Report based on that query has different sort; why would this be?

I created a new report based on the query and that report was fine. So why
does the original report not work?

Access 2003.

In report design view, use the Sorting And Grouping pane to specify how you
want the report sorted.

This is much more reliable than hoping the report will sort as the query
does. In general, there's no point sorting the source query for a report.
