You mentioned you wanted the child grid to be in a specific order.

If you have a child grid, this mean you have a parent field in it which is linked to the unique id of the parent table. By looking at your details, I would say that you can change the tag expression of id to be id+testname. The relation will still work and will be ordered. Howerver, you might want to do some translation in the expression in the case where id is numeric.
