    For left to right column traversal, you can trick the engine into moving to
    the first column of the next row. For an example, I created a simple group
    in my left to right columnar report. Because the default behavior is that
    the group detail continues in the same column that it left off in the
    previous group, it may not be what you want. So, in order to shift the first
    detail of the subsequent group to the first column, one row down, you can
    make the following call in the group before break event:

    procedure TForm1.ppGroup1BeforeGroupBreak(Sender: TObject);
    begin
    ppReport1.Engine.CurrentColumn := -1;
    end;
