    Registration fields report sorting of participants by name

    It's great that we can now sort the attendee list by name, BUT......

    When you go to generate the registration report (which is what is often used to Check Attendees in at an event), even if you filter/sort the attendee list by name first , then generate the registration report, the names are not sorted alphabetically.

    This makes the sort by name feature in the attendee list less useful for the purpose of having a list to check people into events.

    Can the registration reports be changed to work from the sorts applied before you generate the report?

    Let me confirm, which report do you refer to as 'registration report' - 'Registration fields report' or something else?

    Yes, I'm referring to the Registration Fields Report.

    To confirm, if you select the option 'Include participant details', participants should be listed within each option by last name, is that what you would like to see?

    OK, this makes good sense - the current sorting (by registration sequence) does not make any sense to me - obvious design oversight.

    Does that mean it has the potential to be fixed before the next official release (interim release fix?)

    At this stage I can't really say - it might be next release, before (not a huge chance) or a later release (because next one is already fully scheduled)

    Just heard back from our dev team - sorting will be changed to last name in our next upgrade 4.1 (December-January)
