Thanks a lot for your straightforward, user friendly advice.

I am getting all of the PaymentType and CityName at the very top of the
report. Then I get all of the records sequentially below that.
On the surface it sounds perhaps like a table problem ... when HTML renders
tables, if you have information not properly wrapped in the table I think
it gets shown in advance of the table.
How can I
break the record listing and subtitle each section? It worked fine in the
text version.
By fixing your HTML ... if it works as you wish for the text version, then
you don't have a problem traversing the XML as you desire, you have a
problem wrapping the information in your target vocabulary (in this case,
HTML).
For totaling, should I just use keys?
No, because you'll have the same problem because using keys only works with
document-wide scope ... that's the awkwardness when it comes to doing
subgrouping as subsgrouping cannot easily work with document-wide
scope. Just use the variables as they are created.
An example below includes amounts and totals.
I hope this helps.
