I don't know about elegancy, but I can suggest
a simple solution based on your test6 ;-)
Consider pipe of 3 transformations:
Transformation 1. ( Produce flat list of elements ).
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<result>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</result>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match='*'>
<xsl:element name="{name()}"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Transformation 2. sort
So now we have flat file which is sorted - so it is
ready for:
Transformation 3. Is 'flat-hierarchy' grouping which
I wrote for your test6.
