Answer 1

There is another option to do the same thing.
What can be done is, create running total. You can create running total from field explorer by right clicking and then new. Create Running Total Field dialog box appears. In that, provide the following:
i)     Field to summarize - provide the field to maximize (i.e. id)
ii)     Type of summary u2013 Maximum
iii)     Evaluate u2013 On change of field (provide the name)
iv)     Reset u2013 Never
Keep this Running total field on the details section and suppress if you do not want to show it in the details section. Place this field wherever you want in the report.
Hope this helps you. Let me know your comments.
