In addition, especially for grouping problems it is interesting to know
whether you are restricted to XSLT 1.0 or whether an XSLT 2.0 solution
will be acceptable.
If you cannot send real input data because it is either confidential or its overall complexity masks the actual problem, it is good to make up some sample data, which (this is important) should be well-formed XML. For example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data>
<item>
<Classification>A</Classification>
<Area>north</Area>
<Customer>Joe</Customer>
<Street1>a</Street1>
<Street2>b</Street2>
<Street3>c</Street3>
</item>
<item>
<Classification>A</Classification>
<Area>south</Area>
<Customer>Jim</Customer>
<Street1>f</Street1>
<Street2>e</Street2>
<Street3>d</Street3>
</item>
<item>
<Classification>C</Classification>
<Area>west</Area>
<Customer>John</Customer>
<Street1>k</Street1>
<Street2>h</Street2>
<Street3>i</Street3>
</item>
<item>
<Classification>B</Classification>
<Area>south</Area>
<Customer>Bob</Customer>
<Street1>o</Street1>
<Street2>n</Street2>
<Street3>m</Street3>
</item>
<item>
<Classification>A</Classification>
<Area>north</Area>
<Customer>Ignatius</Customer>
<Street1>q</Street1>
<Street2>p</Street2>
<Street3>r</Street3>
</item>
<item>
<Classification>A</Classification>
<Area>north</Area>
<Customer>Joe</Customer>
<Street1>x</Street1>
<Street2>y</Street2>
<Street3>z</Street3>
</item>
<item>
<Classification>A</Classification>
<Area>west</Area>
<Customer>Linda</Customer>
<Street1>u</Street1>
<Street2>v</Street2>
<Street3>w</Street3>
</item>
<item>
<Classification>B</Classification>
<Area>center</Area>
<Customer>Mary</Customer>
<Street1>a</Street1>
<Street2>a</Street2>
<Street3>a</Street3>
</item>
</data>Then I see at least two different approaches: 1. Just sort the items in a flat structure, but sorted for Classification first, then for Area, etc. 2. Also create some hierarchy that reflects the grouping, for example: <data>
<group by="Classification" grouping-key="A">
<group by="Area" grouping-key="north">
<group by="Customer" grouping-key="Ignatius">
<group by="Street1" grouping-key="q">
<group by="Street2" grouping-key="p">
<group by="Street3" grouping-key="r">
<item>
<Classification>A</Classification>
<Area>north</Area>
<Customer>Ignatius</Customer>
<Street1>q</Street1>
<Street2>p</Street2>
<Street3>r</Street3>
</item>
</group>
</group>
</group>
</group>
<group by="Customer" grouping-key="Joe">
<group by="Street1" grouping-key="a">
<group by="Street2" grouping-key="b">
<group by="Street3" grouping-key="c">
<item>
<Classification>A</Classification>
<Area>north</Area>
<Customer>Joe</Customer>
<Street1>a</Street1>
<Street2>b</Street2>
<Street3>c</Street3>
</item>
</group>
</group>
</group>
<group by="Street1" grouping-key="x">
<group by="Street2" grouping-key="y">
<group by="Street3" grouping-key="z">
<item>
<Classification>A</Classification>
<Area>north</Area>
<Customer>Joe</Customer>
<Street1>x</Street1>

</item>
</group>

</group>
