OK, I see what you're after now.
I'd tackle it like this (I don't recall the exact shape of your data so
adapt as necessary):
1. create a set of distinct programs:
var progs select=//program
var distinct_progs select=$progs[not(@name=preceding::program/@name)]
2. iterate through this in sorted order:
for-each select=$distinct_progs
sort select=@name
var color choose when position() mod 2 = 0 red otherwise blue
for-each version of this program
display this program version in the current background color.
