[xsl] FW: Cross reference, grouping, sorting & filtering problem

["*Tom Hall" <Tom dot Hall at hbl dot co dot nz>]

> Hi, following is an example of an xml structure that I require grouped
> through the use of cross references based on a parameterised filter value.
> The xml structure is fairly large so the use of keys to lookup the 'part'
> element is highly desirable.
> I am currently using xsl:param to define a filter value for
> 'collection@name' having got that I need to return a result set that for
> all the 'parts' referred to by 'ref@refid' references in the 'collection'
> grouped by 'part@type', sorted with in each group by 'part@name'. It would
> also be desirable to have the result set assigned to an xsl:variable.
