[xsl] Counting and Rearranging Nodes

["rostom aghanian" <rostom@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I need some help on traversing an XML structure and outputting the entries in
a specific format. Here it goes....

My input structure looks something like this:

<Root>
  <Item>
      <Line_No>901</Line_No>
      <Amount>50.00</Amount>
  </Item>
  <Item>
    <Line_No>801</Line_No>
    <Amount>60.00</Amount>
  </Item>
  <Item>
    <Line_No>802</Line_No>
    <Amount>77.00</Amount>
  </Item>
  <Item>
    <Line_No>806</Line_No>
    <Amount>99.00</Amount>
  </Item>
  <Item>
    <Line_No>1002</Line_No>
    <Amount>3.00</Amount>
  </Item>
  <Item>
    <Line_No>1003</Line_No>
    <Amount>5.00</Amount>
  </Item>
</Root>

For my output I want something like the following:

<Root>
  <New_Item>
    <Line_No>801</Line_No>
    <Line_No_Og>801</Line_No_Og>
    <Amount>60.00</Amount>
  </New_Item>
  <New_Item>
    <Line_No>802</Line_No>
    <Line_No_Og>802</Line_No_Og>
    <Amount>77.00</Amount>
  </New_Item>
  <New_Item>
    <Line_No>803</Line_No>
    <Line_No_Og>806</Line_No_Og>
    <Amount>99.00</Amount>
  </New_Item>
  <New_Item>
    <Line_No>901</Line_No>
    <Line_No_Og>901</Line_No_Og>
    <Amount>60.00</Amount>
  </New_Item>
  <New_Item>
    <Line_No>1001</Line_No>
    <Line_No_Og>1002</Line_No_Og>
    <Amount>3.00</Amount>
  </New_Item>
  <New_Item>
    <Line_No>1002</Line_No>
    <Line_No_Og>1003</Line_No_Og>
    <Amount>5.00</Amount>
  </New_Item>
</Root>

Explanation and a few important points:
- Basically, I am trying to get the items renumbered based on their Line_No
element.

- The Line_No element will never end with a 00 (i.e. 800, 900, 1000).

- The Line_No element may skip (i.e. 801, 802, 806), but in my output I want
to keep them ordered (i.e. 801, 802, 803), as demostrated in the above XML
snippets.

- The result does not need to have the Line_No or Line_No_Og elements in
order, but it does need to restart the Line_No_Og numbering based on the
hundreth group the Line_No element is in. For example:
  801  --> 801  (begin 800 group)
  802  --> 802
  806  --> 803  (notice new Line_No is continuous, wheras original skipped)
  901  --> 901  (notice numbering re-starts at the 1s for a new group (900s))
  1002 --> 1001 (notice numbering re-starts at the 1s for a new group
(1000s))
  1003 --> 1002 (numbering continues consecutively in the 1000's group)

- And lastly, keep in mind that the Line_No elements can go up to the max
(i.e. 899, 999, and 1099).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
