generate-id() coupled with key() is only going to give you the first
instance of each distinct element in a group.  With that information you
can then test each of the elements against this information and group
them as such.  I wish I had the time to look through your particular
code a bit more and figure out your specific error.  But I do have the
time to copy and paste a quick and simple example that highlights the
correct process using apply-templates and a passed parameter containing
all of the ungrouped elements that can then be used to test against each
distinct group.  Let me know if you have any further questions and if I
don't have the time to help I am confident you will find several other
list members who will be more than happy to help out.

Best of luck!

Sample XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<crayons>
  <crayon color="blue" brand="crayola"/>
  <crayon color="yellow" brand="generic"/>
  <crayon color="violet" brand="generic"/>
  <crayon color="violet" brand="crayola"/>
  <crayon color="fuscia" brand="crayola"/>
  <crayon color="red" brand="generic"/>
  <crayon color="red" brand="crayola"/>
  <crayon color="blue" brand="generic"/>
  <crayon color="green" brand="generic"/>
  <crayon color="green" brand="crayola"/>
  <crayon color="yellow" brand="crayola"/>
  <crayon color="orange" brand="generic"/>
  <crayon color="orange" brand="crayola"/>
  <crayon color="fuscia" brand="generic"/>
</crayons>

Sample XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:key name="brand" match="@brand" use="."/>
<xsl:template match="crayons">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="crayon[generate-id(@brand) =
generate-id(key('brand', @brand))]" mode="brand">
    <xsl:with-param name="crayons" select="crayon"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="crayon" mode="brand">
<xsl:param name="crayons"/>
<xsl:variable name="brand" select="@brand"/>
  Brand: <xsl:value-of select="@brand"/><br/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$crayons[@brand = $brand]" mode="sort"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="crayon" mode="sort">
  Color: <xsl:value-of select="@color"/><br/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Sample output:

  Brand: crayola<br/>
  Color: blue<br/>
  Color: violet<br/>
  Color: fuscia<br/>
  Color: red<br/>
  Color: green<br/>
  Color: yellow<br/>
  Color: orange<br/>
  Brand: generic<br/>
  Color: yellow<br/>
  Color: violet<br/>
  Color: red<br/>
  Color: blue<br/>
  Color: green<br/>
  Color: orange<br/>
  Color: fuscia<br/>

Hi Mukul,

Thanks for all your help, but I'm only getting the
first customer from each date. 

Current Output:

12/13/2001 
 John  Water Plant 4 
       Mail        5 
12/14/2001 
 Jimmy Mail        5 

What I need:
12/13/2001 
 John Water Plant 4 
 Mail             5 
 Jimmy      Mail  5 
12/14/2001 
 Jimmy      Mail  5 

Can you tell me what I need to do?

Thanks,
James
