RE: [xsl] Sorting an xml

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In XSLT 2.0, with shopinglist as the context item:

<xsl:for-each-group select="item" group-by="place">
  <xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/>:
  <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
    <xsl:value-of select="count, unit, place"/>
    <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each-group>

(You said you wanted the output sorted, but your specimen output was grouped
without sorting).
