I'm trying to use XQuery to re-order an input xml file so that each pair of numbers are printed side-by-side eg two per row, left and right. There could be any number of input rows.

My input looks like this:
<root>
<row>
<number>1</number>
</row>
<row>
<number>2</number>
</row>
<row>
<number>3</number>
</row>
<row>
<number>4</number>
</row>
</root>

What I'd like to see is:
<root>
<row>
<number_left>1</number_left>
<number_right>2</number_right>
</row>
<row>
<number_left>3</number_left>
<number_right>4</number_right>
</row>
</root>

Any ideas how to do that with XQuery? I have tried all sorts of approaches without much success.

See if the following helps

<root>{
for $row in /root/row[position() mod 2 = 1]
return
<row>
<number_left>{$row/number/string()}</number_left>
<number_right>{$row/following-sibling::row[1]/number/string()}</number_right>
</row>
}</root>
