How to sort a Format ([DateAudited],"yyyy"", week ""ww) field by w

I need to convert the date using the format in the header, however when I try
to sort the date using the ascending or descending option, it behaves like a
string. Week 11 comes before week 2? Is there a way to sort the formatted
date (converted to week number) in the correct order?

Thanks a lot

Include both a formatted date (string) and an unformatted date and sort on the
unformatted one.

Thank you for your prompt answer.This is a query of queries. The first two
queries are totals (crosstabs) queries. I have tried what you are
suggesting, but then I need to select "First" as the total option to order my
data by week. This works for the first level of queries, however, when I do
the query of the two queries, it acts as a filter and I see no more data!
Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Applying that principle (using the date to sort with First as the option in
the total line) to both queries is working just fine. Thansk a lot.
