Yes, you can do it in XSLT 1.0, but it sounds as though you need to spend some time with the faq and the specs first. You don't say whether you have only one case of Category/@value and Subject/@value that you want to group with, or whether either @value can have a variety of values. This impacts on the answers we can give here. In general, to solve this kind of problem you can either use a processor like Saxon, which provides an extension function called saxon:group, or do more work with sorting, variables and RTF-to-nodeset conversion.
