Michael Todd is definitly right when he says this should be done on the client side but for the fun of it, this is one option

DECLARE @Table TABLE (name VARCHAR(32), Size INTEGER, Date DATETIME)

INSERT INTO @Table VALUES ('data1', 123, getdate())
INSERT INTO @Table VALUES ('data1', 124, getdate())
INSERT INTO @Table VALUES ('data2', 333, getdate())
INSERT INTO @Table VALUES ('data2', 323, getdate())
INSERT INTO @Table VALUES ('data2', 673, getdate())
INSERT INTO @Table VALUES ('data2', 444, getdate())

INSERT INTO @Table 
SELECT DISTINCT name, NULL, NULL
FROM @Table

SELECT 
  CASE WHEN Size IS NULL THEN Name ELSE NULL END
  , Size
  , Date
FROM @Table
ORDER BY Name, Size
