Order rows in Report component

Hi, this might be an easy one, but I haven't worked with Report components before. I have a Report component which is used in a dashboard. All working fine except that I would like the rows to be ordered based on the values on one of the columns. In the example below, I would like to order the rows based on the Lease Start Date. I have tried updating the data adapter that is assigned to the report, but the ordering of rows in the data adapter seems to be ignored by the Report, so that must be something in the Report overriding the rows order.

Any suggestion is appreciated.
