Pivot table update within groups

[mlmoyer]

I have a data table that looks somewhat like this a number of rows of "Date", "ID#" and other extraneous fields.

I have a pivot table that simply lists the total count by date, then i grouped it by month and then by quarter:

<table x:str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 220pt;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="293"><col style="width: 69pt;" width="92"> <col style="width: 43pt;" span="2" width="57"> <col style="width: 65pt;" width="87"> <tbody><tr style="height: 13.5pt;" height="18"> <td style="height: 13.5pt; width: 69pt;" width="92" height="18">

My problem is, when i add a new row to the main table, say with a date of "December 20, 2008", and refresh the pivot table, the information ends up clear at the bottom (in this case, after the year 2014).

What am I doing wrong? I figured the pivot refresh would place the data among the other December 2008 rows in the pivot table.

Thanks.
