Also, add a "Sort" button to allow for the report fields/columns to be quickly and easily sorted alphabetically. Most of the time an alphabetical sorting of the columns in a BI report is not helpful, but it is helpful for those times when you might want to analyze or compare the reports themselves. E.g., when trying to analyze the reports to recommend to end-users which reports will be most helpful for them based on the fields offered, an alphabetical field list would be helpful. Or, suppose a VAR picks up a new client, and whoever was previously supporting them ignored best practices and modified standard BIA/BIE reports, and even worse, didn't document the changes. The new VAR might want to compare the customer's current reports to the same reports in a standard MAS database, and if the field lists could be easily alphabetized it would save a lot of time. Sure, the comparison could be done in SQL, but if there was a "Sort" button provided, doing it via the front-end would be much quicker and easier.
I sure do wish there was a "Select All," "Clear All," and "Alphabetize" in Business Insights reports. It would be so useful!
