Sort table in report on column not displayed in the report not working

I have a table with two columns (Rowid,Rowtext) and want's to sort by rowid.
I have set the sort order to Rowid in the data tab and it displays in correct order their.
Now I add a table to my report with only column "Rowtext". Then the sort order is on "Rowtext".
How to solve the sort order so it will be Rowid in the report?

 

Table

Rowid, Rowtext
1 btext

2 atext

3 ctext

What you explained seems to be correct, not sure why it will not sort properly in table. Can you share screen shot where you setup sort order and also how does table looks like?

 

In the meantime, can you drop rowid field on the table as well, do you see different results?

I have not tried to sort in the data table before... have you tried using the "Sort By Column" option on "Modeling" menu?

 

Yes always use it and that is the way to do it. Do you have any specific question?

Thanks,
