Default creating a custom report

I have only been using access for about a week or so now and I have created a
form, in which I enter all of my criteria. The data is stored on a table.
What I need to do is create a report or pull specific entries from this data
entered. The data changes weekly, so I thought I would use parameters on a
Query used as a Record Source for a Report, however when I run this report it
automatically sorts the entries. I need the data to be in the exact order as
I had entered.

Hopefully someone can help me out, remeber I am new to using access and I am
not totally knowledgeable on everything access has to offer.

Thanks

Data is stored in an Access table like a barrel of bricks. You need to
specify the sort order to display in a certian way. You sort in a query for
display in a form and in Sorting And Grouping for a report.
If you can not use an existing field to sort then you will have to add one
that will sort the way you want the data to be displayed..
