Crosstab By Date (Month)

I need to write a crosstab on a shipping table that has the Customer as the
row heading, month as the column heading, and sum of shipped as the value.
The crosstab wizard does this easy enough, but my problem is I need to have
the column heads (month) sort by year also. If I use the wizard and run a
crosstab on the last 6 months, it still sorts the colomns as Jan, Feb,
Mar,.......Dec. What I am going for is ....Sept 09, Oct 09, Nov09, Dec09,
Jan10, Feb10.

The data is correct the first way - just sorted wrong. Is there a way to do
this?
Thanks
Terry

In the SQL view for the PIVOT statement use this with your field name --
PIVOT Format([YourDield], "mmm yy") IN("Sep 09", "Oct 09", "Nov 09",
"Dec09", "Jan 10", "Feb 10", "Mar 10")

The IN part will produce column names in the same order. But the FORMAT
must output the date in the exact manner as in the IN part.

Is there a way to do this so that it is dynamic? I need to run this query
for differant time frames, and run it each month. It would be cumbersome to
have to change the "IN" statement each time.
Thanks for the help.
