I think libXSLT supports exsl:node-set.

Note that Martin's solution works by running two passes over the data. This makes the problem much more tractable, since he is able to group the nodes after they have been filtered and sorted. Pulling them directly into their groups is hard since which groups they belong in is a bit of information not explicit in the source data.

If you didn't want to use the extension function, you could achieve this by splitting the logic into two stylesheets. Filter and sort your elements with one stylesheet, then format them with another.
