I have a list of sales people and invoices for which they are responsible. Some have more than one invoice, so I don't want to alternate row color at every row, I want to alternate colors at every change in sales person.

I used this thread to build the alternating color: thread401-1563045

In the thread, @blom0344 warns "The tricky bit is to make sure that the running-count(1) index is in the same order as the data displayed in the list (otherwise the alternating fails)"

Well, the alternating is failing for me. How do I make sure the index is in the same order?

Example (where row = 1 has line formatting):

Row Name Invoice
0 Beck 123
1 Boise 5435
1 Casalls 4324
1 Casalls 99

0 Frapp 9010
0 Morgan 44
1 Smith 342
1 Trapp 832

0 Ziet 238

I want it to display like this:
Row Name Invoice
0 Beck 123
1 Boise 5435
0 Casalls 4324
0 Casalls 99
1 Frapp 9010
0 Morgan 44
1 Smith 342
0 Trapp 832
1 Ziet 238

TIA.
