Yes, but it's a bit of a pain. Make as if to print the statement, but choose Edit to get into Report Designer instead. You need to find the section of the report that contains the transaction lines - in the example I chose it was Header.Number.footer. You need to create a new hidden section just for sorting. To do this, go to Section, Add Section, Group Header & Footer. Look in the bottom right pane to locate Audit_Split.Date, double click to select it and close the window. You should now have a new group header and footer. 

Now to hide the blank space this has created: Click the new header and choose View properties. Set Suppress=Yes and Visible=False.

Next, select the new footer and at the far right of this new yellow bar, there is a downward pointing triangle. Click this to move the Audit_Split.Date header to just below the section that you identified above - probably Header_Number.footer.

Finally, hide the Audit_Split.footer in the properties pane as before.

Hi Anita, thanks for your help. You must have a different version, I'm trying to follow your instructions but I can't. I have "add data field", and then I select as data audit_split and variable date. as field position I chose Header_Number footer and another field "DATE" appears below the one that is already there. no new group.

When I select the properties for that I see in the right side: suppress duplicates, and visible, both in behaviour, I suppose you are talking about those? nothing happens after that. 

No, you don't add a data field.  Go to Sections on the menu at the top, then follow the instructions I gave earlier.
