Sorting of report columns not available by default in Cognos 11 reports

In Cognos 10 by default, every column header in a report has up/down arrows for sorting but Cognos 11 does not.

If Cognos 10 report contains JavaScript that controls the column, the javascript may have to be modified to work in Cognos 11.

The other option is to change the report to run with full interactivity, which provides the ability to sort the columns.

With the report open in edit mode, click Report and view the properties. Change the 'Run with full interactivity' to Yes.

You can read more about interactivity here:
