AE12 Component User Post Lisp Modification

What I'm looking to do has essentially already been written in the wirefrm2.lsp user post routine by filtering INST attributes which only displays the desired outputs on the report.

 

What I would like to do is use the same concept of this sorting routine on sort FAMILY attributes in the COMPONENT schematic report. Below are screen shots to walk through the steps of how far I've gotten. I will also post my code along with the issues I've confronted.

 

 

Step 1: This is what I'm trying to accomplish with the component report.

Comp1.png 

 

Step 2: Sorting on these attributes, click user post.

Comp2.png

 

Step 3: Modified the comp.dcl file to add menu selection 

Comp3.png

 

Step 4:  The routine finds the family codes in the report displayed on this selection window. 

Comp4.png

 

Step 5: Once it returns to the report it appears as though the attributes aren't released from the array?  Stuck here!

Here is the code I have been working on.  I think the issue is somewhere in the very last loop.  Does anyone have any imput on this sort of modification to a lisp routine?  Thank you and I appreciate any input!

; Post-process schematic component report. 
;
; This routine is called from AutoCAD Electrical's "User post" button on the
; schem component report dialog display. Report data is passed to this
; routine in AutoLISP variable called "wd_rdata". This utility can
; then operate on this report data, reformat it into a new list of
; report data "rtrn" and then pass it back to AutoCAD Electrical's report dialog 
; through a call to (c:wd_rtrn_2wd rtrn) shown at the end of this file.
;

; Each item in the first list (the "(car wd_rdata)" part of the data) is itself a 
  ; sublist with the following elements:
  ; nth 0=ITEM
  ; nth 1=TAGNAME
  ; nth 2=CNT
  ; nth 3=UNITS 
  ; nth 4=SUBQTY (*n)

Does anyone out there even modify the User Post formatting lisp routine?  Maybe someone can tell me if this is even possible...?
