Dave,

Another way would be to hardcode your alphabet as a set of nodes in your stylesheet:

<my:alphabet xmlns:my="my.com">
  <l>a</l>
  <l>b</l>
  <l>c</l>
  <l>d</l>
  <!-- etc. -->
</my>

<xsl:variable name="alphabet" select="document('')/*/my:alphabet/l"/>

Then just iterate over these, or iterate over the nodes you already have with a test whether its initial letter (normalized) is = $alphabet.

It may be a little less cumbersome than recursion.

Cheers,
Wendell

I'd just iterate over the alphabet held in a string, with a recursive
template. It starts off with the whole alphabet and gradually whittles
it down letter by letter until there's no alphabet left
