There really isn’t any way to do this because there really isn’t a way to know ahead of time what is in other rows.

What you’d need to do is to loop through all of the rows and collect the information into an array that is sorted in whatever way you want. Then you can loop over the groups in the array.

For example:

$groups = array();
if (have_rows('repeater') {
  while (have_rows('repeater')) {
    the_row();
    $groups[get_sub_field('grouping_field')][] = array(
      'field_1' => get_sub_field('sub_field_1'),
      'field_2' => get_sub_field('sub_field_2'),
      'field_3' => get_sub_field('sub_field_3'),
      // etc...
    );
  }
}

if ($groups) {
  foreach ($groups as $grouping_value => $group) {

  }
}
