    Hi,  lutho 

     

    It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

    According to your description, I think you can use 'sort bu column' function in result column.

    Hi, lutho 

     

    I think you need to classify the name of the same exam, for example science71, science72, so that there will be no errors.

Hi Janes, I have run into an additional challenge. The method provided works as long as the data set I am trying to order/display does not contain duplicates. I even created a unique displaysortorder field across all exams. Unfortunately students sometimes get the same exam result - resulting in an error message that there are the same values for 2 different displaysortorder values. It seems illogical that PBI is enforcing this constraint. Thoughts?
