  You should resort your dataset. For example, close query, change SQL and open query again

  Yes.. that is one obvious solution. But it would require a very tedious algorithm to determine the "proper" sorting based on the number of records for the three columns. I simply want the data to sort much like a newspaper column does. How can I structure the report to offer such feature? Where each each column and the equivalent number of rows.
  
  Thanks

  I also need three (or more) columns with the data sorted TOP-DOWN, then LEFT-RIGHT. There can be any number of records in the dataset so the sorting needs to continue on to the next page. Dataset is sorted in 1,2,3,4, etc order.
  
  example:
  
  1 11 21
  2 12 22
  3 13 23
  4 14 24
  5 15 25
  6 16 26
  7 17 27
  8 18 28
  9 19 29
  10 20 30

  Please also see Fast Report .NET help for an example. Fast Report .NET Help. I want to use the "DownThenAcross" mode!
  If it can be done in the .NET version why can't it be done in the VCL version???
