I've been stuck on the next problem for a few days
now, eventhough the answer must be real simple ( I
think), I cant figure it out.

Multiple-level sorting with the pure Muenchian method involves divining a key combination that is unique at each level of the key sort and then recombining this for each node being tested.


Personally, I find that sorting sub-groups is a lot easier using variables instead of using key tables.

You don't give enough data to write a quick test file, but here is the outline of the code structure:

<xsl:variable name="firsts" select="XPath-of-first-level-sort-nodes"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$firsts">
  <xsl:if test="generate-id(.)=
                generate-id($firsts[XPath-of-unique-value-calculation])">
    <!--first-level grouping completed-->
    <xsl:variable name="seconds" select="XPath-relative-for-seconds">
    <xsl:for-each select="$seconds">
      <xsl:if test="generate-id(.)=
                    generate-id($seconds[XPath-of-unique])">
        <!--second-level grouping completed-->
        ...etc....
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

I hope the above helps.
