I have been having a problem with grouping. If I have:

                        </Student>
                </Students>
                <Name>First</Name>
        </Grade>
</School>

How can I group each grade, and within each grade, group all tutors with
their students?

They are already grouped by grade, so it appears you just need to group students by tutors.


Grouping in XSLT 1.0, while it is not trivial, is well-documented (in part because it's not trivial), and you will find a wealth of resources on line explaining various techniques of doing it, including both on the XSL FAQ (http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/sect21.html) and everyone's favorite helper site for XSLT grouping, http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/index.html.

Since you haven't said exactly what's got you stuck here, it's impossible to offer more specific advice, short of simply writing the code to do this. And that really wouldn't be much help, would it? While the list has an interest in helping and encouraging you to learn XSLT, we don't have much interest in doing the job for you....

If you have a more specific or focused question on a point you find confusing, please don't hesitate to ask. (Oh, and use a subject line next time too. :-)

Cheers,
Wendell
