prompt/parameter position in UI

RS 2000 - I have 3 parameters in my report. I would like the 3rd parameter to be positioned directly under the 2nd parameter so it makes more sense to the user than when the parameters are displayed by default left-right top-bottom and the 3rd parameter ends up under the 1st parameter. What controls the position/location of the prompts? Do I have any control over it?I am very interested in this question. Maybe in 2 months you have found an answer (even if it is "No control over it"). Please help. Thank you.|||Unfortunately, that is exactly the response I got - there is no control over it at this time. I also did not get the impression that it was fixed in 2005.|||Thank you|||

The ordering of the controls is based on the ordering in the rdl. The layout for the parameters in Report Manager is not user adjustable. However, if you want to create your own web pages you can use the new web viewer control and create your own parameter area, ordering and displaying the parameters however you please. There is a significant amount of work required to do this generically, but it would be farily simple for a small set of reports and parameters.
