GRouping with many levels could become complicated, because the keys to be used with the Muenchian method must be concatenations of several simple grouping keys.
I guess you can find many examples of using the Muenchian method for grouping on two levels, but very few examples for using it for grouping on many levels.
THis is why I would recommend as an alternative (which in some cases will be noticeably slower) the following method for grouping with potentially unlimited number of levels:
<xsl:call-template name="RecursiveGrouping"> <xsl:with-param name="list" select="book"/> <xsl:with-param name="attrList" select="/*/book[1]/@*"/> </xsl:call-template>
All grouping is supposed to happen on the values of different attributes, which are passed via the parameter "attrList"
The elements to be grouped using these attribute values are passed using the parameter "list"
It would be good to construct the node-set for the "attrList" parameter in such a way that the attribute nodes are in the desired order.

I need to turn this:
<test> <group> <player name="joe" position="pitcher" team="mets" state="ny">2</player> <player name="mark" position="outfielder" team="mets" state="ny">11</player> <player name="john" position="pitcher" team="mets" state="ny">23</player> <player name="pete" position="outfielder" team="mets" state="ny">27</player> <player name="roy" position="outfielder" team="mets" state="ny">13</player> <player name="carl" position="infielder" team="mets" state="ny">32</player> </group> </test>
Into something like this:
<group> <state name="ny"> <team name="mets"> <position name="pitcher"> <player name="joe" number="2"/> <player name="john" number="23"/> </position> <position name="outfielder"> <player name="mark" number="11"/> <player name="pete" number="27"/> <player name="roy" number="13"/> </position> <position name="infielder"> <player name="carl" number="32"/> </position> </team> </state> </group>
Assuming there can be many states, many teams and many positions
I tried to nest the Muenchian method like this:
<xsl:key name="state-grouping" match="player" use="@state"/> <xsl:key name="team-grouping" match="player" use="@team"/> <xsl:key name="position-grouping" match="player" use="@position"/>
<xsl:template match="test/group"> <group> <xsl:for-each select="player[count(. | key('state-grouping', @player_ownership_details)[1]) = 1]"> <xsl:variable name="state" select="@state"/> <xsl:variable name="state_node_set" select="../player[@state=$state]"/> <state name="{$state}"> <xsl:for-each select="$state_node_set[(count(. | key('team-grouping', @team)[1]) = 1)]"> <xsl:variable name="team" select="@team"/> <xsl:variable name="team_node_set" select="$state_node_set[@team = $team]"/> <team name="{$team}"> <xsl:for-each select="$team_node_set[(count(. | key('position-grouping', @position)[1]) = 1)]"> <xsl:variable name="position" select="@position"/> <xsl:variable name="position_node_set" select="$team_node_set[@position = $position]"/> <position name="{$position}">
<xsl:for-each select="$position_node_set">
<player name="{@name}" number="{.}" />
</xsl:for-each> </position> </xsl:for-each> </team> </xsl:for-each> </state> </xsl:for-each> </group> </xsl:template>
But it doesn't produce the correct output when I add more data (more teams, position, etc.)
Am I using the muenchian method correctly? Is this something that can be done? I've been working on a solution all day (with more complicated data) and I can't seem to get it to work. Anyone out there ever pull off something like this?
