Re: [xsl] Multiple hierarchy grouping (warning: longish)

David,

Thank you very much for your response.

What is missing in the output your XSLT produced is Folder number 18 in Box 12, 
as well as the second and third items of Box 13, Folder 1.  Using your output 
(I'm not using EAD for space reasons, but that's what I'm ultimately trying to 
produce), what I am trying to produce is this:

<r>
  <Series id="2">
     <Subseries id="1">
        <Box id="12">
           <Folder>17</Folder>
           <FolderTitle>Symphonic Poem</FolderTitle>
           <FolderID>223</FolderID>
        </Box>
        <Box id="12">
           <Folder>18</Folder>
           <FolderTitle>Requiem Mass</FolderTitle>
           <FolderID>224</FolderID>
        </Box>
     </Subseries>
     <Subseries id="2">
        <Box id="12">
           <Folder>19</Folder>
           <FolderTitle>Symphony no. 4</FolderTitle>
           <FolderID>225</FolderID>
        </Box>
     </Subseries>
  </Series>
  <Series id="3">
     <Subseries id="">
        <Box id="12">
           <Folder>20</Folder>
           <FolderTitle>Symphony no. 5</FolderTitle>
           <FolderID>226</FolderID>
        </Box>
        <Box id="13">
           <Folder>1</Folder>
           <FolderTitle>Chamber music</FolderTitle>
           <FolderID>227</FolderID>
           <Item>String Quartet</Item>
           <Item>String Quartet no. 2</Item>
           <Item>Piano Trio Quartet</Item>
        </Box>
     </Subseries>
  </Series>
</r>

I guess is this is what is probably confusing me: something about the 
<xsl:for-each-group>, my use of it, or something in my XPATH, is producing a 
more limited group than it seems like it should.  As I understand it, the 
groups created by the first <xsl:for-each-group> should be <Record[1,2,3]> and 
<Record[4-7]>.  From that first set, the second <xsl:for-each-group> should 
create two sets: <Record[1,2]> and <Record[3]>.  But the first set appears to 
leave out <Record[2]>.  It seems like the same problem when applied to the 
items.  The XSLT I was originally using did this correctly, but then couldn't 
split a box between two series (box 12 appeared entirely under series 2, even 
the parts that were supposed to be under series 3).

I appreciate any thoughts you, or anyone else on the list, might have.

Thanks!
Eric


I'm not sure I fully understood the output format you gave, and teh input 
wansn't a full document so I wrapped it in <r>, but possibly something like 
the following

<r>
      <Record>
              <Series>2</Series>
              <Subseries>1</Subseries>
              <Box>12</Box>
              <Folder>17</Folder>
              <FolderTitle>Symphonic Poem</FolderTitle>
              <FolderID>223</FolderID>
      </Record>
      <Record>
              <Series>2</Series>
              <Subseries>1</Subseries>
              <Box>12</Box>
              <Folder>18</Folder>
              <FolderTitle>Requeim Mass</FolderTitle>
