Grouping and sorting

I have a table of information that is tracking music in a film.  I have the songs and their timecode of where they appear in the film.  the nature of the list is that i have a record for every time there is an edit however several records compile the total use of the song.  Here is my issue.  When i look at all the records in grid view and sort by timecode in they sort in order and everything looks great.  Then when i then group them by song title things go hairy.  It puts the groups of songs out of order.  so a song that starts in the film at 1 min 15 sec and goes to 3 min 15 sec is sorting after a song that is in the film at 15 min 3 sec.  How can i get them to go in the proper order once grouped?

I actually figured it out.  I realize now that when you group by a single select column the group will order itself based on the order in the single select menu.  Once i knew the order i needed it in i went into there and reordered it manually.  I uploaded a couple screen grabs explain what i did.
