Re: [xsl] Sorted headers of multiple occurance child nodes

[Brian Huntington <bhuntington@xxxxxxx>]

Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Kay,

Yes, this is a standard grouping problem, and yes, the Muenchian method 
described at the resource you provided works perfectly. Thank you for 
pointing me in the right direction.

Perhaps if I had known to search for keyword "grouping" instead of 
non-specific stuff like "sort +child" I would have found the information 
in the archive, without taking your time. I chalk it up to ignorance, 
but I've learned something new.

Mr. Carlisle,

Thank you for the pointer re. the obsolescence of xsl 1.1. I will take 
this into consideration and research which of recommendations 1.0 or 2.0 
best suit the needs of my organization.

Thanks again to both of you. Sincerely,
Brian Huntington

beware that xsl 1.1 was a working draft that was killed off, there never
will be an xsl 1.1.

Your problem looks like a grouping problem as described in lots of
places but we usually sent people here:

This looks like a standard grouping problem: use Muenchian grouping as per
