Re: [xsl] Unique headers

["Kanthi Damodaran" <kanthi_damodaran at hotmail dot com>]

Thanks for the update but I did not want the grouping order to be changed 
.... meaning that I did not want the 'General' type to be cateogrized.  Only 
those that are specific types like mystery, horror etc ...  This is wherein 
lies my problem.  I apologize for not having clarified it better.  Any 
thought on this?
