Re: [xsl] Keys with duplicates should be simple

[Ihe Onwuka <ihe.onwuka@xxxxxxxxx>]

I illustrated with a cut down version of the input. When I ran with
that I too only got allison-benedikt.

So now that I have a bit more faith in what I programmed, there are
more records.

The data is supposed to be in alphabetical order ... it looks like it
is ..... but it actually is not because when I search the rest of the
input there is another record for Mr/Ms Das in it.

So the code is correct.... I was deceived by the data not being in
sequence when I thought it was.

Thank you all.
