Sorting by date with empty dates

Question

The current sort for my report is by date, newest to oldest, and grouped by day.

The default seems to be that if the date field is empty, this record shows at the very bottom of the report.

Is there a way to get the records with empty dates to show at the top of the report instead?

no problem,

The field that you display on the report does not need to be the same field that you sort on. So just create a new formula date field called [Date Sort] with a formula of

IF(IsNull([My Date Field]), Date(2099,01,01), [My Date Field])

That will sort blanks as the most most current.
