Create a field for sorting only, and do not display this field. One way to do
this would be to sort by alphabetical order, but use a switch in your sort field like: switch([country_name]="United States","AAAUnited States",true, [country_name]) This will put United States at the top of your list, and all other country names will keep the same order.

Sorting report by country, first all US, than all other countries
1. Create a query into this table.
In a fresh column in the FieldRow, enter this expression: IsUSA: [Country] = ("United States") Use this query as the RecordSource of your report. 2. In report design view, open the Sorting And Grouping box (View menu.) In the first row, choose the IsUSA field. In the second row, choose the Country field. Explanation: The expression returns True for USA, False for all other countries (and Null if country is blank.) True sorts before False. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.

You must include the "=" at the beginning of the function/expression.

In the reports Sorting and Grouping Dialog, try entering these two lines
Field/Expression : Sort Order --------------------------------------------- =Country = "United States" : Ascending Country : Ascending You may have to switch the Sort Order on the first line to Descending. Try the proposed setup first. "LDMueller" wrote in message ... I have a report in Access 2003 which lists data by countries. I need the output in the report to print as follows.
