Working with Breakpoints

When a report has breakpoints, R:BASE automatically sorts by the defined breakpoint columns. You can sort additional columns other than breakpoint columns if the breakpoint columns are listed in the ORDER BY clause first. If an ORDER BY clause that overrides the breakpoint sort is included in the PRINT command, the report might not produce the results defined by the breakpoints.
