XSL Transformation

Hi,
I have an XML doc that looks like this
<STOCKITEM>
<CATEGORY>A</CATEGORY>
<STOCKCODE>123</STOCKCODE>
</STOCKITEM>
<STOCKITEM>
<CATEGORY>A</CATEGORY>
<STOCKCODE>456</STOCKCODE>
</STOCKITEM>
<STOCKITEM>
<CATEGORY>B</CATEGORY>
<STOCKCODE>789</STOCKCODE>
</STOCKITEM>
I would like to transform it into this kind of structure using XSL:
<CATGEGORY name="A">
<STOCKITEM>
<CODE>123</CODE>
</STOCKITEM>
<STOCKITEM>
<CODE>456</CODE>
</STOCKITEM>
</CATEGORY>
<CATGEGORY name="B">
<STOCKITEM>
<CODE>789</CODE>
</STOCKITEM>
</CATEGORY>
I don't know the categories in advance, and there are also sub cats that
will nest within the categories. I could do it using scripts and some kind
of fudge based on the SQL SELECT DISTINCT category idea. However, I think
this is somewhat against the spirit of XSL. Any ideas on how this might be
done? I can't be this first person to want to do this kind idiom.
Many Thanks
James Thompson
