Default Help! Extremely Difficult Sorting Problem

I have a huge spreadsheet containing part numbers, work order numbers, labor time, and due dates. I know you cannot solve this under regular Excel channels. I think VB code will have to be added, unfortunately, I can't write code. I really need help in that department. Here are the constraints

1. Cannot exceed certain amount of labor hours in one day (For this example let's use 10 hours) Would like to be able to choose labor hour amount to try different scenarios
2. Cannot repeat the same part number within that block of 10 hour
3. Work must be sorted by due date within 10 hour block (that's the easy part

Look at the example below

Part Number W.O. Labor Time (Hours) Due Dat
A 100 2 1/1/0
A 101 2 1/1/0
B 200 3 1/2/0
B 201 3 1/2/0
C 300 4 1/1/0

Sorted Report Should Like the following

Part Number W.O. Labor Time (Hours) Due Dat
A 100 2 1/1/0
C 300 4 1/1/0
B 200 3 1/2/0
Page Break or Empty Ro

Part Number W.O. Labor Time (Hours) Due Dat
A 101 2 1/1/0
B 201 3 1/2/04

Anyone that can solve this is a master in my book.....thanks
