	pretty sure that it is no because the data that could be returned from a sr to the mr is in a shared variable which does not exist in teh mr until after the sort passes have already run

	if you join to the table in the subreport you could. or (and DBlank knows what coming) use a stored proc, then you could include the value from the subreport in the data and then you can sort on it. Otherwise, I agree with DBlank, you can't sort on the subreport, as it has not been run at the time that CR is grouping and sorting the data. HTH
