position() _never_ relates to the location of a node in a source
tree. It always refers to a position in a current node list

has position() =1 even if it's the 1001 child of some parent.

But I don't see why the test I have correctly handles the first mods:name in a mods:mods element, except if the same names are repeated in another mods:mods element.


In other words, I want the when test to be satisfied for all first-authors. So what am I doing wrong?

<xsl:template match="mods:name" mode="full">
...
<xsl:when test="$sort-order='first-author' and position() = 1 and not(parent::mods:relatedItem)">
<xsl:apply-templates select="mods:namePart[@type='family'] | mods:namePart[not(@type)]"/>
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="mods:namePart[@type='given']"/>
</xsl:when>
...
</xsl:template>


The (abbreviated) source looks like:

<mods>
  <name type="personal">
    <namePart type="given">Jane</namePart>
    <namePart type="family">Doe</namePart>
  </name>
  <name type="personal">
    <namePart type="given">Steve</namePart>
    <namePart type="family">Smith</namePart>
  </name>
<mods>
