One way to handle report grouping on different fields (depending on user-picked sort order) is to have a GROUPBY field in the SQL which varies depending on the sort order. I use a variable for the actual field name(s) which is called with a macro in the SQL. Then the report is always grouped on the GROUPBY field.
