like to insert the Sort Control.

Users can sort the fields you have selected by clicking the sort arrows that

temporarily to the top of the sort order. When a second "Sort Control" is used,
the first is returned to its original position in the sort order and the second is
promoted to the top sort.
Note:
Grouping hierarchy is not affected by "Sort Control".
To remove a sort control
1. Right-click the text object that contains the existing Sort Control.
2. Click Bind Sort Control.
The "Sort Control" dialog box appears.
3. Click < Not Interactive >.
4. Click OK to return to your report.
The "Sort Control" is removed from the report.
Grouping data
Grouped data is data that is sorted and broken up into meaningful groups.
In a customer list, for example, a group might consist of all those customers
living in the same Zip Code, or in the same Region. In a sales report, a group
might consist of all the orders placed by the same customer, or all of the
orders generated by a particular sales representative.
