"nothing" is not very much, is it? What do you mean, does the processor 
raises an error, does the output appear empty or is the grouping done on 
sample_date_time and not on both sample_date_time *and* cp_name?

It would help a great deal if you show the input that you use with the 
XSLT that you show, and the output that you currently have and how you 
want it different.

Usually, most errors go away if you carefully check the spelling of your 
nodes. I.e., is 'sample_date_time' a child node, or a child attribute 
node? Do you use namespaces and if so, which are those (omitting a 
namespace means: no match). If you really have no output at all (which 
is actually very impossible because you have an LRE at the root-matching 
template) I think you are running something else then you show here.

If I look back in the thread for your cluttered sources, I see that the 
node 'cp_name' actually is a child of 'sample' and sample_date_time is 
so too.

Perhaps with 'nothing happens' you mean that 'I expect something else to 
happen than what I see currently'. In which case your requirements may 
be different from what you told in a previous message. Again, a sample 
(input *and* output) of your new requirements would be great.

I tested the stylesheet I showed you and I altered the sample xml to 
contain extra children. The grouping works as expected for me.
