RE: XSLT grouping(?) issue

In XSLT 2.0, use

<xsl:for-each-group group-starting-with="StartOrderGroup">
  <xsl:variable name="start"
select="current-group()[self::StartOrderGroup]"/>
  <xsl:variable name="end" select="current-group()[self::EndOrderGroup]"/>
  <xsl:variable name="group" select="current-group()[. >> $start and . <<
$end]
  <order>
    <xsl:for-each-select="$group">
      <xsl:value-of select="name()"/> - <xsl:value-of select="Id"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </order>
</xsl:for-each-group>

plus some formatting as required.

For a 1.0 solution, use sibling recursion, which is a but more difficult.
