Use AT NEW with the second field of the internal table only. It will also break at the first field.

How will it know to break at the 1st if I don't define it?

Check the help for AT NEW. In part, it says:

The control level structure with internal tables is static. It corresponds exactly to the sequence of columns in the internal table (from left to right).

Oh I see. I have several columns in between that i would not want it to sum by. Do you have another suggestion then instead of AT NEW

I never use AT NEW or ON CHANGE OF. I find it easier to just keep track of it myself (using old_val and new_val or something like that). This way, I don't have to worry about the structure of the internal table - just the sorting.
