The results are shown as matrix.

The report always compares the newer one to older one. It is not important whether a baseline is selected as baseline 1 or 2.

Baseline 2: Select the second baseline to compare

Report Direction: This is related to baseline filters. You could select Row or Column. When a filter is created; users select issue types to appear in columns and rows. For ex: users could select requirements to appear in row; and test cases &tasks to appear in columns of traceability matrix baseline.In this case, if you select ROW in report direction, the report shows changes from requirements view point; if you select COLUMN in report direction; it shows the changes from the tasks and tests viewpoint.
