Multi-select Parameter Display Value

I have attached a report that shows the display value of selections made by the user for a multi-select report parameter. The report uses a computed column in a data set to populate a report variable. The report variable is used in a dynamic text element to display the display text of the items selected from the multi-select report parameter. In order to get the report to work, I added a table bound to the data set and placed the table above the dynamic text element in the report layout. I set the visibility of the table to Hide Element.

How can I figure out the order the elements are created when the report is run? Is there a more efficient way I can display the same information?

Also, when I run a report similiar to the example above as a PDF file in Actuate 11 (before uploading to iServer) more than once, the report variable is not accurate. The report variable does not initialize each time before adding the display text of the new values selected. Instead, if after the first time I run the report, I then click on the OK button on the Parameter page to run the report again, each subsequent time I run the report as a PDF, the value of the report variable is equal to the previous value of the report variable plus the new selected value(s).

I do not have the same problem when I view the report in the Web Viewer. Why do I get different results when I view the report as PDF? Will this be a problem once the report is published to iServer?
