I'm new into Cognos and I have not seen any tutorials online that would help me solve this puzzle.

How do I move a sectioned column to the right place inside a List Page in Cognos Report Studio?

My manager asked me to edit an existing report and wants me to add a new column (Underwriter Column) and put it inside a List Page.

This is the original look and feel of the report. enter image description here

Then my Manager wants to add a new column and make it look like this.

enter image description here

So I drag the new column from the Main Query to the list page.

enter image description here

Then I highlight the Underwriter column and click the Section/Unsection column to add the new column below the Insured Name column.

enter image description here

The problem is the new column I just added after clicking section/unsection button goes between Policy Number and Questionaire Name. It should be placed below the Insured Name column (highlighted yellow line).

enter image description here

Is there any way to fix this? To drag the new column on the desired area? Should I add a List inside the List Column Body of the one highlighted in the screenshot below?

As you notice that there are List Column Body inside a List Column Body that is also inside a List Column Body.

How is it possible to insert a new column (encircled in green, Figure 8) inside a List Column Body under the Insured Name List Column Body?

First create the section, then highlilght the whole List/table/page (click the top left most 3 dots) then go to main menu at the top and DATA > SORT > EDIT LAYOUT SORTING.

In the new dialogue box under groups, click your group and click the down arrow to move the group down the list to the desired position.

(My version is 10.2.2)

I hope this helps.
