Does anyone know how I can sort by one group and then by another alphabetcally?
 
Use Report->Sort Records and select the 2 fields.

This depends upon your software version, please post basic information with any post about any software product.

Let's say you grouped by ID, but you really want in alphabetical order by the name associated with the ID. Insert a second group on name and then either go to design mode and grab the group#2 in the gray area next to the report canvas and drag it so that it becomes group 1 or go to the group expert and use the arrow keys to toggle it into group #1 position. Then suppress the ID group header.

Another approach is to concatenate the name and ID field, and then group on this, but just display the name field.
