Project Portfolio Management (PPM) reporting against Phase field shows Phases out of expected order... need to have report show them in the correct orderUser Lady Galadriel was trying to run a report against Project Phases. Unfortunately, when running the report, the Phase field values were out of order (expected: Initiating → Planning → Executing → Delivering → Closing) and seemed to order randomly. Lady Galadriel wanted to know how to ensure that the Phases were listed in the correct order consistently in her reports. After no small amount of research, it was found that the below steps could be taken to ensure correct ordering in any report (not just in the example below which is in sc_req_item [RITMs in Service Catalog]): 1. In the left-navigator, type "report" and select "Report Ranges" (Reports > Administration > Report Ranges) 2. Then, once in the list-view for "Ranges", create a new record from the table and field and give the order. For example, for the field "State", the user could select the order to be: Work in Progress, Open, and Closed Complete.The user will provide the Label, Element (field), Name (table name) and the value (in this use case, the State choice of "Work in Progress") alongside the order the user desires the specific choice to be in. 3. The user can create all of these records similarly and order them as desired. 4. Then, once this process is complete, if the user reports against these State choices, they will appear in the order dictated when the Ranges were created.
