Re: XSLT 1.0 Grouping

Please try this XSL..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> 

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
    
<xsl:key name="byAge" match="person" use="age"/>
  
<xsl:template match="/root/people">
   <people>
     <xsl:for-each select="person[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('byAge', age)[1])]">
       <xsl:sort select="age" order="ascending"
data-type="number" />
       <age value="{age}">
         <xsl:copy-of select="key('byAge', age)/name"
/>
       </age>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </people>
</xsl:template> 
    
</xsl:stylesheet>
