sorting sub groups in pivot tables

[Patty Slowik]

In my pivot table I am adding 4 fields to row labels, 1-ID 2-last name
3-first name 4- courses. The pivot table sorts by my first choice (ID, which
I need to be 1st choice because its the unique identifer) So one person
could have 4 courses and this is how it looks, but i also need the data in
courses to be sorted alpha.

Any suggestions

Thanks Dan,

That does work for that example, but now I have another issue. I work in a
school district and I have large lists that I create pivot tables for. I
have to use the unique identifer 'student id" in the 1st column because we
have students that share the same first and last name ex 3 john smith. But
once i have the data in the pivot table, like my example, i want it to alpha
by last name. I do not want to copy and paste values bec I will be adding
columns,like the household column, which has more than 1 response for that
student id, so I need to keep the information as a pivot table. Hope you can
help
