I searched the forum here for the answer to my question, but couldn't find much discussion of grouping.  Has anyone successfully done grouping of UDT data using XSLT?  Have you used the Meunchian method?  Is that even supported?  If someone has a good example of grouping that would be most helpful.  Everything I have tried has ended up in error messages and I'm starting to think I am missing something big.  All I am trying to do is group a series of classes based on the course name and then sort the classes by their start date within each group.  Thanks for any advice.

Stefan,

I too am attempting to use the Meunchian method to create a sorted table for a UDT module on my website, and am having a lot of difficulty with it. 

I am not very familiar with XSLT, which I admit is part of the problem.  I've tried to "transcribe" example code from more general explanations of the Meunchian method that I've found elsewhere on the web, to adapt them to work with the XML format generated by the UDT module, but with my lack of experience I have been unable to make headway.  

But a big part of what's preventing me from making any progress with this work is that I have not been able to interpret anything useful out of any of the error messages that I've gotten from the dnn framework when I've applied an attempt at a Meunchian grouping stylesheet to my UDT.  The errors I do get are either very general and don't seem to have anything to do with a specific line or instruction in the XSLT file, or else I just get a dump of the xml data, or it reverts back to a Basic Table.xlst layout.  So I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and am unable to make any headway.

My UDT has fields for "Name" "Phone No." "Email Address" and "Department" and I'd like to group the table by Department.

I would appreciate a code sample of a working XSLT script that implements Meunchian sorting against a "generic" UDT xml datafile.  Could you please post an example here?
