SORT Not merging similar fields if there are any editable fields in the ALV

Question

Hi All,
I have two issues with my OOPS ALV report.
1) Standard sort is not working :
Output of the report looks like this
WBS    TEXT          Period 1  Period 2
A           Total hours     1         1
A           Total hours     1         1 
A           Total COSt     1         1
A          Total COST     1         1
My agenda is to calculate sub total of period1 and period 2 based on fields WBS and TEXT, my output should look like
WBS    TEXT          Period 1  Period 2
A          Total hours         1           1
                                     1           1
Total hours                     2           2 ( Sub total )
A          Total COST        1         1
                                     1         1
Total COST                    2         2 ( Sub total )
To achieve this i pass these two fields in the sort table and pass field subtot = 'X' for TEXT field.
It is working fine, i am getting the sub totals but the WBS field are not grouped( Even though it is a standard functionality).
my output looks like
WBS    TEXT          Period 1  Period 2
A         Total hours   1         1
A         Total hours   1         1
Total hours               2         2 ( Sub total )
A      Total COST      1         1
A      Total COST      1         1
Total COST              2         2 ( Sub total )
I have few editable fields in my output, i came to know this issue is because of the editable fields. have anybody come across the same error.
Please let me know how to achieve the standard sort ( Merging similar values ) functionality even if the output has editable fields.
2) IS it possible to get two Grand total based on a field value . In my example , my TEXT field will always have value either  'Total hours' or 'Total COST'
my output should look like this.
WBS    TEXT          Period 1  Period 2
A      Total hours     1         1
                              1         1
Total hours(A)          2         2 ( Sub total )
A      Total COST     1         1
                              1         1
Total COST(A)         2         2 ( Sub total )
B      Total hours      1         1
                              1         1
Total hours(B)          2         2 ( Sub total )
B      Total COST      1         1
                                1         1
Total COST(B)           2         2 ( Sub total )
GRAND TOTAL HOURS    4         4
GRAND TOTAL COST       4         4.
Response will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
