Hi Martin.
Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't work for me.
I have resent a message with my real data.
Maybe your solution would work if I don't change it to fit my data :)
Thanks, anyway.
Regards,
Fabien

With XSLT 2.0 you can use xsl:for-each-group to group the data
<ol>
<xsl:for-each-group select="/xml/city" group-by="name">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/>
<ol>
<xsl:for-each select="current-group()/person">
<li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ol>
</li>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</ol>

to be done on more than one level...)
You will need to provide more details then.
