  <xsl:apply-templates select="//Category[string-length(Code)=1]">
   <xsl:sort select="Code"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Category">
<LevelOneCategory Code="{Code}" Description="{Description}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="../Category[string-length(Code)=2 and substring(Code,1,1)=substring(current()/Code,1,1)]" mode="two">
<xsl:sort select="Code"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</LevelOneCategory>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="Category" mode="two">
<LevelTwoCategory Code="{Code}" Description="{Description}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="..//Category[string-length(Code)=3 and substring(Code,1,2)=substring(current()/Code,1,2)]" mode="three">

<Categories>


Final Result - where one letter, two letter, and three letter categories are nested.


<Categories> <LevelOneCategory Code="A" Description="Airplanes"> <LevelTwoCategory Code="AA" Description="Airplanes (ARF)"> <LevelThreeCategory Code="AAE" Description="Airplanes (ARF), Electric"/> <LevelThreeCategory Code="AAG" Description="Airplanes (ARF), Giant"/> <LevelThreeCategory Code="AAP" Description="Airplanes (ARF), Sailplane"/> </LevelTwoCategory> </LevelOneCategory> <LevelOneCategory Code="B" Description="Boats"> <LevelTwoCategory Code="BA" Description="Boats (ARF)"> <LevelThreeCategory Code="BAE" Description="Boats (ARF), Electric"/> </LevelTwoCategory> </LevelOneCategory> <Categories>
