You can edit the expression for a data group and its output options. You can also change the order in which data groups appear.
 Note: |
|---|
| When you change the order of a data group, all controls in a group band move to the new location. Changing the order of data groups does not change any previously defined controls. For example, if controls are positioned relative to the top or bottom of a group band, they remain anchored in that position in the band. |
