Group and sort in group2

Question

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_1](
[group] [int] NULL,
[sort] [int] NULL,
[Item] [nchar](10) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT [dbo].[Table_1] ([group], [sort], [Item]) VALUES (1, 1, N'Car ')
INSERT [dbo].[Table_1] ([group], [sort], [Item]) VALUES (2, 1, N'Bus ')
INSERT [dbo].[Table_1] ([group], [sort], [Item]) VALUES (1, 0, N'Bike ')
INSERT [dbo].[Table_1] ([group], [sort], [Item]) VALUES (2, 0, N'Lorry ')
INSERT [dbo].[Table_1] ([group], [sort], [Item]) VALUES (1, 1, N'Train ')
INSERT [dbo].[Table_1] ([group], [sort], [Item]) VALUES (1, 1, N'Ship ')
Data
My Dataset Query in ssrs table
Group2 expression
Group on Group
Sort on Sort
Group 1 expression
Sort on Sort
First(Item.value ) is not working..  i need to fix in ssrs since this is an an sample data of sp with more columns
  my problem is once group2 is grouped, it is not taking the sort and just dispalying the First item in the sort of the item.

I beg your pardon, but in your example in the insert statement you have 1, 1, Ship , whereas in your report you display 1, 0 , Ship.
Why not avoid the problem at the source, byt letting T-sql do the work:
with a ([Group], [FirstSort])
AS (SELECT [GROUP], MIN(sort) As FirstSort from dbo.Table_1 group by [group])
select  a.[GROUP], a.FirstSort, c.[Item] AS FirstItem , b.[sort], b.[item]
from a
inner join  dbo.table_1 as b on a.[Group] = b.[group]
inner join dbo.Table_1 as c on a.[Group] = c.[group] and a.[FirstSort] = c.[Sort]
order by a.[group], b.[sort] -- LEAVE OUT the order BY in the report dataset
Gives this result (I took the insert statements from your example)
GROUP FirstSort FirstItem sort item
1 0 Bike       0 Bike     
1 0 Bike       1 Car      
1 0 Bike       1 Train    
1 0 Bike       1 Ship     
2 0 Lorry      0 Lorry    
2 0 Lorry      1 Bus
