That IS different, but not what I am looking for. 

Currently, I can get:

Split Transaction	
2010	
Total For 2010	$Amount S
Total For Split Transaction	$Amount S
Credit Card A	
2010	
Total For 2010	$Amount A
Total for Credit Card A	$Amount A
Credit Card B	
2010	
Total For 2010	$Amount B
Total For Credit Card B	$Amount B

What I would like instead is:

Split Transactions for Car Loan A	
2010	
Total For 2010	$Amount S-1
Total For Split Transactions For Car Loan A	$Amount S-1
Split Transactions for Car Loan B	
2010	
Total For 2010	$Amount S-2
Total For Split Transactions For Car Loan B	$Amount S-2
Credit Card A	
2010	
Total For 2010	$Amount A
Total for Credit Card A	$Amount A
Credit Card B	
2010	
Total For 2010	$Amount B
Total For Credit Card B	$Amount B

Is that clearer?
