iReport : How to add a group after another (not inside)

Question

normally iReports creates group like this:

---

Group 1 Header

Group 2 Header

Detail

Group 2 Footer

Group 1 Footer

But I need the goups to be created this way:

---

Group 1 Header

Detail

Group 1 Footer

---

Group 2 Header

Detail

Group 2 Footer

How can I get this to work the way that I need?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

The only way to get this working is having a subreport with which holds group 2.

Main report:

• group expression for group1, add group header and footer band
• sub report in e.g. summary band

Sub report:

• group expression for group2, add group header and footer band
