I wear a lot of hats...

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

Since the last and first names are already separate, you probably don't need to reverse them or us any functions. And since you're not SUM'ing or doing any grouping functions, you don't need the GROUP BY, either. Ordering by the BankruptcyAttorneyName will group them in order:

SELECT  LoanNumber,
        CustomerFname,
        CustomerLname,
        Propertyaddress,
        BankruptcyAttorneyName
FROM    loan
ORDER BY BankruptcyAttorneyName,
         CustomerLname DESC,
         CustomerFname DESC,
         LoanNumber
