RE: How to transform flat structure into hierarchical one?

["Paulo Gaspar" <paulo dot gaspar at krankikom dot de>]

Hi Jeni,


Aleksandrs has performance concerns. Getting the data already sorted 
from the database and having the XSL relying on that ("team work")
is, probably, the most performing solution.

Still, I am learning a LOT from your answers!

Which reminds me of the "Muenchian" thing (am I misspelling?). You 
referred to "Muenchian techniques" when suggesting this solution a
couple of postings ago. 

Since the solution itself was one of the most interesting things I 
learned in this mailing list (although I do not have "key" in MSXML)
I would like to go a bit further in that direction.

I am not asking you to lecture me on "Muenchian techniques". (This 
list already takes a lot of your time as it is.) What I am asking is
for some pointers: URL's, book names and/or other locations of 
interesting content about that subject.

(In the end it is in M. Kay's book I am talking about all the time...
...but I did not read the whole thing just yet.)


Thanks... and have fun,

Paulo
