Formulas After "WhileReadingRecords" But Before "WhilePrintingRec

I am using CR8 and I am having an evaluation time problem.

I have created a formula that depends on the records being already grouped, however the formula appears to be evaluated while reading the records. I need the records to be sorted and grouped before I can apply the formula.

The problem is that I cannot have it evaulated during "WhilePrintingRecords" either, since I have other formulas that depend on it.

Currently the formula in question resides in the Details section of the report.

Is there a way to have the formula evaluated after all the records have been grouped and sorted, but before "WhilePrintingRecords"?
 
I would put in the first formula, the one that depends on the records being already grouped, "WhilePrintingRecords". In the formulas that depend on the first one, I would put in "EvaluateAfter" so the other formulas evaluate after the first formula.
