I don't know if I completely understand, but I'll try to give a couple of
solutions.

First:
If you don't care what order the cards are in in the stack (ie it doesn't 
matter that it's blue, blue, green, red, blue) but only in the print-out,
you can open printing at the first card you want to print, save its ID, and 
just go to next card of this background and print it until you get back to 
the first card.  This will print all the cards in the background that you
opened the printing in.

Second:
Put another field in each background, and on newCard put the background
name in the field (it should probably be hidden).  Then when you sort,
sort first on what you actually want to sort, then sort on the field which
contains the name of the background.  This will essentially give you
a stack sorted in groups (all the blue cards together, and sorted with
respect to the field you wanted sorted, then the green, and then the red)
Then print it that way.

If this is not at all what you wanted, sorry, but I hope it helps.
