This wasn't easy to do. Your data structure isn't the most suitable to this
task. If you have control on your input you might consider changing it.

This template produces the expected result considering your xml.

  <!-- here you add an <h:text> for each text you want to skip -->
  <h:hold>
    <h:on name="MR870c">
      <h:text>ONLINELIB</h:text>
      <h:text>JOURNALS --</h:text>
      <h:text>LIBWEBSITE --</h:text>
      <h:text>NC-JOURNAL --</h:text>
    </h:on>
    <h:on name="MR870a">
      <h:text>ONLINELIB</h:text>
    </h:on>
  </h:hold>
  <xsl:variable name="holds"
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/h:hold/h:on"/>
  <xsl:key match="MR870" name="mr"
use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::MR870[MR870a][1])"/>
  <xsl:template match="Holdings">
    <xsl:variable name="getHoldings">
      <!-- I'm grouping the results by the MR870a with different text. This
way we can skip the repeated text -->
      <xsl:for-each
select="MR870/MR870a[not(.=../preceding-sibling::MR870/MR870a)]">
        <!-- here we do the sort. Each letter is the initial of the referent
word and the numbers represent the respective order -->
        <xsl:sort select="translate(.,'SNO','123')"/>
        <xsl:for-each
select="self::MR870a[not(.=$holds[@name='MR870a']/h:text)] |
key('mr',generate-id(current()/parent::MR870))/MR870c[not(.=$holds[@name='MR

    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:if test="not($getHoldings = '')">
