Body
Im working with XSLT1.0 (Processor can't handle 2.0) and have a problem trying to group the output of an xml structure: <row> <order> <text> some order text 1 </text> </order> </row> <row> <payment> <text> some payment text 1 </text> </payment> </row> <row> <order> <text> some order text 2 </text> </order> </row> <row> <contact> <text> some contact details 1 </text> </contact> </row> <row> <contact> <text> some contact details 2 </text> </contact> </row> Today we select all rows and call apply template for each (each type has its own template that writes out its body), that creates an output like: Order: some order text1 Order: some order text2 Payment: some payment text1 Contact: some contact details1 Contact: some contact details2 But what I would like is to (in XSLT 1.0) to group the output so that: Order <ol> <li>some order text1 </li> <li>some order text2</li> </ol> Payment <ol> <li>some payment text1</li> </ol> Contact <ol> <li>some contact details1 </li> <li>some contact details2</li> </ol> Obviously there are many other element types than order,payment and contact involved here so selecting by explicit element names is not a solution. EDIT Ty, some great answers, how would the Muenchian grouping solution change if I had a structure of say <pre><code><customers> <person> <row>....</row> (row is same as above) <row>....</row> </person> <person> <row>....</row> <row>....</row> <row>....</row> </person> </code></pre> Then the key: <pre><code> <xsl:key name="type" match="row/*" use="local-name()"/> </code></pre> Would select all rows across all persons which is not what I wanted. Thanks for great responses too.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
