Group Totals and Running totals (sorting order)

I am hoping to sort the totals for a report (using CR 8.5 Standard) so that the running total values will be added starting from the end of the report (earliest date for All Evnts, Init. Evnts) to the beginning (most recent date for All Evnts, Init. Evnts).
I tried inserting a Running Total for All Evnts (All Run) and Init. Evnts (Init. Run - not shown) but they add from the beginning date to the ending date. The All Sort ,Init Sort and % Sort columns (Created in Excel for Illust.) show how I would like the values to be sorted. The % Sort column ideally should be (Init. Sort/All Sort)*100.
I am using two groups:
Group 1 requests the parameters for the month range, and is sorted Descending ,and changed for each month
Group 2 is for the value of the date field and is sorted Descending, changed for each day.
The All Run RT Field is a sum of @ Remind Count which simply counts all details for each day, Evaluate is for each record, and Reset is set to Group 1, the month.
The Init Run RT Field (not shown) is a sum of @iexam=exam which counts all details where these 2 fields are equal; Evaluate is set to for each record, and Reset is again set to Group 1.
The Formula for the month selection (which I need for custom month selections) uses the WhileReadingRecords function.
Here is the output, including the 3 Sort fields showing the desired results.
Code:
Date   All Evnts  All Run All Sort Init Evnts Init.Sort % Sort
4/19/2005 1,312	1,312	33,985	1,086	28,211	83.01

3/26/2005    75	25,641	8,419	   70	7,050	83.74
3/25/2005 1,394	27,035	8,344	1,163	6,980	83.65
3/24/2005 1,668	28,703	6,950	1,374	5,817	83.70
3/23/2005 1,774	30,477	5,282	1,500	4,443	84.12
3/22/2005 1,782	32,259	3,508	1,507	2,943	83.89
3/21/2005 1,723	33,982	1,726	1,433	1,436	83.20
3/20/2005     3	33,985	    3	    3	    3	100.00

I hope there is a way to do this, maybe without running totals? Since I don't seem to be able to select Asc, or Desc for RT functions...

Thanks in advance,
