Hey guys,
First time asking a question, I'm sorry if it has already been asked before but I've been trying to find the answer to this for about a week now :P

I have two groups. Group1 and Group2.
Based on the User input the hierarchy of this is going to change, or at least thats what I want it to do.

Basically meaning Group2 is now ontop of Group1.
Is there anyway to do this in Crystal??

Thanks for the help :D

Yes, it actually is not difficult.
 
By "user input" I assume you mean that you want to use a prompt for this.  You would need to create two formulas that work something like this:
 
{@FirstGroup}
if {?GroupPrompt} = 'Group1' then
  {MyTable.Group1Field}
else
  {MyTable.Group2Field}
 
{@SecondGroup}
if {?GroupPrompt} = 'Group1' then
  {MyTable.Group2Field}
else
  {MyTable.Group1Field}
 
You then set up your groups based on these formulas instead of on the fields themselves.
