Re: [Hypercontent-users] Displaying list

Hi Carl,
	Are you familiar with the Muenchian grouping method?

http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/muenchian.html

That works well when you have many or dynamic categories, although in  
your case since you have only two fixed categories you could always  
do something like

Academic Staff
<xsl:apply-templates select="/cms:wrapper/cms:include/page/ 
staffbodytext[@academic='yes']"/>

Support Staff
<xsl:apply-templates select="/cms:wrapper/cms:include/page/ 
staffbodytext[@academic='no']"/>

Cheers,
Alex
