I have customer who reported the problem using the Date field in report builder.
Let me explain the scenario using my reference data-
1) Before recent release sorting order was not in descending order as default but, now Data comes in "Descending Order" as Default, which is known to all as part of release. but, if you see the below output where once we apply the summary by month data is coming in Descending Order of Months using Date as data type.
2) But, when we export the same data in excel it is coming in different order i.e. Date field as Text/String data type and order is in Descending as default.
So, here CSM or end user have to do manual editing to set back the actual order as in report. Is there any way to prevent this or say future plan to consider this sorting mechanism?
PS- At the end actual result must be matching with exported result of excel so, looking for solution for this.
Feel free to suggest/ask for further query.
