A group breaks based on the changing of a value assigned in ReportBuilder. If you want to "order" a group based on a calculated value, your best bet would be to create a calculated field in your dataset and have your group break on that field.
Previously I thought about that solution, and in fact is the one that I am using at the moment, but I want to know if is some way using RB to do that or if have some plan to implement something of that in the future. I think that it is worth the trouble.
The process in which data is accessed in ReportBuilder coincides with the underlying architecture of the report engine. To change this would require a major design change in the engine itself. Changing the order the groups print would definitely require a design change. I'm sorry but I do not see this happening in the foreseeable future.
