Classic Report Break Formatting & Repeating Headings - different first row

Simon_PMar 25 2025

I find it frustrating that when using Break Formatting on a Classic Report, with the Repeat Headings on Break option, that the heading is treated differently for the first row. Specifically:

  • The order for the first row is: Heading, break column, other row columns (data)
  • The order for the second and beyond rows is: Break column, heading, other row columns (data)

I created this simple sample app (which I can provide the f.sql script for) to illustrate the issue:

As can be seen in that screenshot, for the first row the column header is above the break column. For all other rows it's below.

Frustrating as it makes for a very inconsistent look. Does anyone know if this can be changed (I would like all column headings to be below the break column – the change as shown with the green arrow)? Or maybe this is a bug warranting an SR?

* APEX 24.2
* Oracle Database 23ai Free Edition
