Report Painter: How to change the order of lines in selection screen

Question

Dear Gurus on Report Painter,
how can I change the order of the lines (where the values for the variable selection of my cost center report are entered) in the selection screen of a report painter report? The Selection screen looks awful.
Is there also a possibility to add another description to each line of the selection screen?
Thank you very much for your advice.
Best regards Timo

Answer 1

I am afraid you have much choice in choosing the order of the selection parameters. However, with the developer's access you may.
This is how!
Step 1: If it is a standard report, copy to your own report. and assign it to a report group. and execute.
Step 2: When you execute, and the selection appears, go to systems>status and here , copy the program name (it may look something like GP46LP6VEDORBSA2IHWYSR4TL58020)
Step3: Go to SE38 and enter the above derived program name with a view to re-arrange the line withing the program, with reference to selection parameters. 
For example: I have a selection screen in the following order:
  Controlling area            
  Fiscal Year                 
  From period                 
  To period                   
  Plan version                                                                               
Cost center group           
  Or value(s)                 
  Cost element group          
  Or value(s)                 
The corresponding program that drives this order is in the program and would look like this,
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK VALUE_SELECTION
                 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-003.
<b> PARAMETERS: $1KOKRE  LIKE CCR1S-KOKRS .
  PARAMETERS: %1KOKRE  LIKE CCR1S-KOKRS MODIF ID IN4.</b>
<b><i> for controlling area</i></b>
  PARAMETERS: $1GJAHR  LIKE COSP-GJAHR .
  PARAMETERS: %1GJAHR  LIKE COSP-GJAHR MODIF ID IN4.
<b><i> for fiscal year</i></b>
  PARAMETERS: $1PERIV  LIKE COSP-PERBL .
  PARAMETERS: %1PERIV  LIKE COSP-PERBL MODIF ID IN4.
<b><i> for period from</i></b>
  PARAMETERS: $1PERIB  LIKE COSP-PERBL .
  PARAMETERS: %1PERIB  LIKE COSP-PERBL MODIF ID IN4.
<b><i> for period to</i></b>
etc.
  PARAMETERS: $1VERP   LIKE COSP-VERSN .
  PARAMETERS: %1VERP   LIKE COSP-VERSN MODIF ID IN4.
  PARAMETERS: $1VALUTP LIKE CCR1S-VALUTYP MODIF ID IN4 .
  PARAMETERS: %1VALUTP LIKE CCR1S-VALUTYP MODIF ID IN4.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK VALUE_SELECTION.
......... set variables ..............................................
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK SET_SELECTION
                 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-004.
  PARAMETERS: $1KOSET  LIKE RKSB1-KSGRU.
  PARAMETERS: %1KOSET  LIKE RGSBS-SETNR MODIF ID IN5.
  SELECT-OPTIONS _1KOSET  FOR CCR1S-KOSTL .
  PARAMETERS: $1KSTAR  LIKE RKSB1-KAGRU.
  PARAMETERS: %1KSTAR  LIKE RGSBS-SETNR MODIF ID IN5.
  SELECT-OPTIONS _1KSTAR  FOR CCR1Z-KSTAR .
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK SET_SELECTION.<i></i><b></b>
If you want fiscal year to appear first, you try just copying the coding relating to fiscal year just above the coding for Controlling area.
Extend the same logic for what you may want to get.
