Why isn't Proc Report Grouping/Ordering for certain columns ?

[HitmonTran]

 I have a data that cannot group/order certain columns . Is it possible to group/order certain columns after the first 4 columns?

current code:

proc report data=final nowindows center headline headskip missing split='@';
    column trtan subjid aecat col:;
	define trtan   / order order=internal 	noprint;
	define subjid   / order order=internal 	noprint;
 

    define col1    / display style(column)={asis=on just=left cellwidth=.8in} flow style(header)={just=left font_size=9pt} "Subject"  ;
	define col2    / display style(column)={asis=on just=left cellwidth=.6in} flow style(header)={just=left font_size=9pt} "Age"  ;
	define col3    / display style(column)={asis=on just=left cellwidth=.3in} flow style(header)={just=left font_size=9pt} "Sex"  ;
	define col4    / display style(column)={asis=on just=left cellwidth=.65in} flow style(header)={just=left font_size=9pt} "Group"  ;
	define col5    / order style(column)={asis=on just=left cellwidth=1.2in} flow style(header)={just=left font_size=9pt} "SOC/PT"  ;
	define col6    / order style(column)={asis=on just=left cellwidth=1.2in} flow style(header)={just=left font_size=9pt} "Start Date"  ;

    define col7    / order style(column)={asis=on just=left cellwidth=1.2in} flow style(header)={just=left font_size=9pt} "Severity"  ;
    define col8    / order style(column)={asis=on just=left cellwidth=1.2in} flow style(header)={just=left font_size=9pt} "Related"  ;
 
run;

data 

subject     age     sex     group     SOC/PT            start_date     Severity     Related
1           10      M       1         Fever/cough       01-01-2021     Mild         1
1           10      M       1         Fatigue/weak      01-02-2021     Mild         1
1           10      M       1         Gastro/pain       01-03-2021     Mild         2
 

want:

subject     age     sex     group     SOC/PT            start_date     Severity     Related
1           10      M       1         Fever/cough       01-01-2021     Mild         1
1           10      M       1         Fatigue/weak      01-02-2021     
1           10      M       1         Gastro/pain       01-03-2021                  2

Hi:
You have most of the variables on the report row listed as DISPLAY variables except for the NOPRINT items and COL5 and COL6. I had to make some fake data and I don't know what all of your variables looked like, especially: TRTAL SUBJID and AECAT. But I was able to come close making some fake data as shown below:

I did not bother to split the Soc_PT data cells because we covered that in one of your other postings.
