    Hi,

    I am using VSTO 2005. I have created a pivot table. But Excel automatically sorts the data. But I want the data unsorted as it is. How do I prevent the auto sorting. Can anybody please help me?

    Thanks

    Hi SandyXYZ,

    Welcome to the MSDN forum!

    In excel, there are no options available to turn this automatic sorting off or to perform a custom sort on your PivotTable data. To prevent a PivotTable from being sorted, you can create a custom list using the unsorted source data on the worksheet. To custom sort a PivotTable, you can first sort the source data as the way you want it on the worksheet, and then create a custom list using the sorted source data. 

    You can refer to the KB for more details on this issue.

    Thanks.
