ascending order in 2 column report

[Guest]

I made a two-column report for my subform (one to many relationship). In the
page setup, i set the column layout as "Down, then across". The problem is
when i preview the report, it is still in one continuous column, the supposed
2nd column is on the 1st column of the 2nd page. also, is there a way to have
equal number of records per column?

A multi-column subreport has to be set to Across, Then Down because it doesn't
know when the parent report hits the bottom of a page. That will also give you
columns of equal height.

thanks! but the report should be sorted in a row, meaning it should be down,
then when it hits the bottom, up. the client doesnt want to view the report
in a zig-zagging manner. is there a way to do this?
