Group Levels
The first group level determines the first level of data grouping. You can specify additional levels of grouping in group levels 2 through 8. In the Group Order dialog box, Report Builder lists a number and a field name for each group level. The number before the field name identifies the group level. The number of the group level determines the grouping order with group level 1 as the most general (most inclusive) grouping level and group level 8 as the most specific (least inclusive) grouping level.
This shows a Group Order dialog box with three group levels defined:

For example, to group item sales by State, City, and Balance, select State as group level 1, since it is the most general group. Select Balance as group level 3, since it is the most specific group. If you do not specify a sort by the same fields, you get many group headers and footers for the same data. In most cases, you want to sort by the same fields on which you are grouping the records.
