Default records not sorting properly in report

I have a report that I want to sort the same way they are sorted in my form.
(By year, let's say). In my form they are sorted properly, but in my report
they are not. The code is the same in each. These are both sub form/sub
report if that makes a difference.

All the fields show up correctly in the report, they are just in the wrong
order. The sorting in the main report seems ok...

Default records not sorting properly in report

To define the sort order for a report, use the Sorting And Grouping dialog:

1. Open the report in design view.

2. Open the Sorting And Grouping box (View menu.)

3. Enter the name of the field you wish to sort by.
If you have a secondary sort on another field, enter that on the next row of
the dialog.
