Hi Susan,

I modified the stylesheet to display the titles on first occurence in the table,
This is the output I get now:

    doc-number   title   description   arrival-date
    53690  American Artist  v.68:no.738(2004:Jan.)  02/26/2004
    57769  The American city & country  v.119:no.3(2004:Mar.)  03/25/2004
    57769       v.119:no.1(2004:Jan.)  02/11/2004
    58345  American demographics  v.26:no.3(2004:Apr.)  04/12/2004
    58345       v.26:no.2(2004:Mar.)  03/06/2004
    58345       v.26:no.1(2004:Feb.)  02/05/2004
    58615  Forbes.  v.173:no.5(2004:Mar.15)  03/15/2004
    58615       v.173:no.2(2004:Feb. 02)  01/21/2004
    58615       v.173:no.1(2004:Jan. 12)  01/12/2004

I added a key:

    <xsl:key name="titles" match="//section-02/title[string(.)]" use="../doc-number"/>

And then instead of directly writing to the table, I created another global variable, 
already sorted, structured like

<output>
    <title doc-number="53690" title="American Artist" 
        description="v.68:no.738(2004:Jan.)" arrival-date="02/26/2004"/>
    <title doc-number="57769" title="The American city &amp; country" 
        description="v.119:no.3(2004:Mar.)" arrival-date="03/25/2004"/>
    <title doc-number="57769" title="The American city &amp; country" 
        description="v.119:no.1(2004:Jan.)" arrival-date="02/11/2004"/>
    <title doc-number="58345" title="American demographics" 
        description="v.26:no.3(2004:Apr.)" arrival-date="04/12/2004"/>
    ...
</output>

where every record has its full title.

Then, when writing the output in the table, I only print the title if it's the first
occurence of that doc-number.
