Skip on level break

I'm trying to figure out the following scenario for a sort break. Basically
I want to do a page break at the second level break EXCEPT if this is first
level break.
I have the following sort: SORT ON FIELD1 ON FIELD2
and the data looks like this:
FIELD1 FIELD2
------ ------
100 1
100 2
100 3
100 4
200 1
200 2
200 3
200 4
I have to have a page break on FIELD2, except for last one, at which time I
print a total line for FIELD1. As it is now, I end up the total line for
FIELD1 on a separate page by itself. I've tried defining another field to
also sort on, but have failed to get it to work properly.
If it helps any, I know there will always be a record with a value of "4"
for FIELD2 in each group of FIELD1 records. Ie: I know the last record will
always be a "4".
I want it to end up like this:
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
------ ------ ------
100 1 10.00
100 1 15.00
100 1 20.00
=====
TOTAL 1: 45.00
(skip page)
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
------ ------ ------
100 2 10.00
100 2 15.00
=====
TOTAL 2: 25.00
(skip page)
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
------ ------ ------
100 3 10.00
100 3 15.00
100 3 20.00
=====
TOTAL 3: 45.00
(skip page)
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
------ ------ ------
100 4 10.00
100 4 15.00
100 4 20.00
100 4 20.00
=====
TOTAL 4: 65.00
TOTAL 100: 180.00
(skip page)
