RE: [xsl] Grouping problem - Duplicates

[Sarah <sarah10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info, I have read that article before asking my question.
Still, I need help. I am not sure that what I want to get as output can be 
done in one stylesheet (without first creating a sorted XMl output to be 
processed with a different stylesheet).

The structure of the XML file is of two "foreign"groups, <Area> and 
<SalesPeople>, yet the grouping of the 2nd level sort, from <salesPeople>, 
depends on the node names from <Area>.

Here is the question again:
