Subject: XML / XSLT... Unordered lists without repeating node values...?

Using XSLT, how would I turn this XML:

<people>
<person>
<name>John Doe</name>
<city>Detroit</city>
</person>
<person>
<name>Mary Jane</name>
<city>Chicago</city>
</person>
<person>
<name>Joe Schmo</name>
<city>Milwaukee</city>
</person>
<person>
<name>Mary Smith</name>
<city>Detroit</city>
</person>
<person>
<name>George Johnson</name>
<city>Chicago</city>
</person>
</people>

into this alphabetized unordered list (stars represent bullets):

Chicago
* Mary Jane
* George Johnson

Detroit
* John Doe
* Mary Smith

Milwaukee
* Joe Schmo

The cities cannot repeat. They must serve as a category and must be listed using XSLT. (No hard coded categories). The people who's <city> node matches the category is listed underneath in bullet style...

Thanks for your help...
