Is XSLT  able to solve this (should it ?):

Sort, once, a list of elements and generate a table with the sorted list,
with the number of elements per row given in the stylesheet:

For example:

<data>
<item>b</item>
<item>a</item>
<item>d</item>
<item>c</item>
</data>

gives, with 2 elements per row:

<table>
<tr> <td>a</td> <td>b</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>c</td> <td>d</td> </tr>
</table>
