Re: Counting and Rearranging Nodes

Thanks Gandi. I tried your stylesheet and it is very good with just one
problem: I need the renumbering to begin only for each 100th group; not each
10th group as your stylesheet does. For example:

801  --> 801  (begin 800 group)
802  --> 802
806  --> 803  (notice new Line_No is continuous, wheras original skipped)
814  --> 804  (NOTICE 800 series counting continues as we haven't reached next
100 series yet)
901  --> 901  (notice numbering re-starts at the 1s for a new group (900s))
944  --> 902  (NOTICE 900 series counting continues as we haven't reached next
100 series yet)
1002 --> 1001 (notice numbering re-starts at the 1s for a new group (1000s))
1003 --> 1002 (numbering continues consecutively in the 1000's group)

Thanks in advance.
