Re: position and grouping?

I need to send this again, as I am no closer to understanding why this is not working. Name order is correct, until I have more than one mods:mods element with the same mods:name content. Example output is now like:

Amin, A. (1994) Post-Fordism: Models, Fantasies and Phantoms of Transition, In A. Amin Ed., Post-Fordism: A Reader (Oxford:Blackwell Publishers) pp. 23–45.

Arendt, H.  (1959) The Human Condition, New York:Doubleday.

N. Brenner (1999) Globalisation as Reterritorialisation: The Re-scaling of Urban Governance in the European Union, Globalisation as ReterritorialisationUrban Studies, March , 36(3) pp. 431–51.

position() _never_ relates to the location of a node in a source

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[(_at_)type='family'] | mods:namePart[not(@type)]"/>
      <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="mods:namePart[(_at_)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>
