How to layout tables in custom order by RTF

TKR

Hi, All

I am looking to layout 8 tables per page in RTF, 2x4.
The tables should be generated based on the values contained in a single row of the data model,
I would like the output in the following order

1. one table on the upper left
2. one table to the right of 1. 3. one table to the left of the next line
3. one table to the left of the next line 4. one table to the right of 3.
4. one table to the right of 3.
   Repeat 3-4, breaking page after outputting 8 tables

To implement the above
I used MS Word's column settings,
However, I could not get the desired display order because it prints downwards.
Please let me know if there is a way to implement the desired layout.

Hi @TKR

Are you facing issue while converting the report into specific format or while printing are you facing issue with downwards order?

Hi, @Mallikarjuna Kuppauru-Oracle
Issue is column order control on RTF template.
reference is here (Inserting Multiple Columns on Pages)

And here is what I want and actual output images.

Just to clarify you are storing the data to populate all 8 tables in the same row rather than 8 separate rows?

Are you able to reorder the data so that the boxes flow as required as I'm not sure you can alter the functionality of a word column.

Usually this is a repeated block based of rows of data.

Hi, @RichardChan
I would prefer that each table be generated by rows.
It would certainly be one way to sort the data,
But I would like to know if there is a way to solve this in RTF if possible.
