Dave,

I think it is possible to put a layout translation layer between your current report data source and the report. For example:

*lets say you have a table (namely table1) with one field the following records:
a
b
c
d
e
f
h
i
j
k
l
m
*and it prints on a two columns as follows
	Page1
a	d
b	e
c  	f
	Page2
h	k
i	l
j	m
*but you would like it as follows
Page1
d		a
e		b
f		c

Page2
k		h
l		i
m		j
* so as to get the desired result on the report, create a second updatable cursor 
* with three fields as follows 
* using this command: 
select field1, ;
   0000 as columnfield, ;
   0000 as pagefield ;
   from table1 ;
   into cursor cursor1 readwrite

* Then mark the column and page field accordingly as follows
field1  columnfield  pagefield
a       2			1
b       2			1
c       2			1
d       1			1
e       1			1
f       1			1
h       2			2
i       2			2
j       2			2
k       1			2
l       1			2
m       1			2

SELECT * from cursor1 ORDER BY pagefield,columnfield INTO CURSOR cursor1 
* now the records are order in this way
field1  columnfield  pagefield
d       1			1
e       1			1
f       1			1
a       2			1
b       2			1
c       2			1
k       1			2
l       1			2
m       1			2
h       2			2
i       2			2
j       2			2
* when run the same report based on this cursor you will get desired result in your 
* report as follows:
Page1
d		a
e		b
f		c

Page2
k		h
l		i
m		j

This is just a demonstration of the principle that I am trying to convey.
I think you can do it if find a way to create this translation layer based on the specific need of your report.
The key is to determine the number columns on a page and the number of rows on a page, then you can mark the records appropriatly and get the desired result.

Hope this helps!
