More precisely, as you walk through each of the five groups of 
attributes, walk through the parent elements in table column order to 
select that member of the group that is a descendant of the 
parent.  That way you'll walk through the group in the correct order 
to generate table cells and know if the item is absent from the 
parent to know to put in an empty cell.

I hope this helps.
