Re: Sorting and grouping

test position mod sort
sorry I mistakenly used following-sibling in my code example, here an update:

Make sure you first order your items, the next step is breaking it up in groups of say 5.
Don't try to start with grouping before sorting, that won't work!


I now first sort according to the at attribute, then I test within item wich position it has within the sorted items list.
is position mod $group is 1 than it's the first of the group, if it's zero, it's the last.


otherwise it's something in between.

Hope this helps.
