You could base the report on a generic view that names some columns with alias 
names and have the "breakpoint" column be something like "BreakpointColumn". 
Then after the user selects the break order, you create a temp view that would 
put the data from the selected column into the BreakPoint column causing it to 
sort properly in the report.
