Which is identical? I.e. each ITEM tag must be treated
as one of frontmatter etc, to get a new page layout?
If you need special treatment for any specific one,
match on ITEM[x], but I don't think you do?

This is more of a sorting problem by the sounds of it.
  Try Jeni Tennisons web pages for that, or the faq.
