Since the example is using Group, and not 
GroupUp, or GroupDown, it won't sort the data, 
but that also means it won't work. If the data 
isn't sorted, duplicates can form duplicate 
groups. For example, if the seventh, fifteenth, 
and thirty-eighth data records all contain the 
same value in field A, then you will get three 
different groups, each with that value in its 
summary record.
