I dont know what should be the appropriate title for this problem of mine.
You appear to have a "grouping problem": You want to group your members by team. The usual solution is called Muenchean Grouping, described in detail in the XSLT FAQ reachable from http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/ and Jeni Tennisons site: http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/index.html
For your specific problem, define a key which identifies the groups, in your case, the elements to match are the rows, the group a row belongs to is identified by its team child element:
In some template, you select rows, but make sure to select only the first row of each group by a special trick. This way you actually got the groups, defined by it's first member, and you only need to process the whole group, selected by the key: <xsl:template match="TeamInfo"> <teams> <xsl:for-each select="row[generate-id() =generate-id(key('row-by-team',team)[1])]"> <team number="{team} name="{teamName}"> <xsl:for-each select="key('row-by-team',team)"> <member><xsl:value-of select="."/></member> </xsl:for-each> </team> </xsl:for-each> </teams> </xsl:template> (untested)
