How can I break a table row in xsl after a specified count?

Question

I have the following xsl that sorts my xml alphabetically:

Answer 1

Here is a second solution, which doesn't require any extension functions. Do note that it is not recursive and may be more efficient than a recursive one.

This transformation:

 

  
    ABCDE
    FGHIJ
    KLMNO
    PQRST
    UVWXY
    Z
  
    
    
    
    

    

  
    
      
    
  

  

    
        
            

              
            
                 
    

    
        

        

        
            
            

            
                    
                
        
    

when applied on the following XML document:

produces the wanted result:

   

      
A

            

               
Agenda
            
         
      
      
B

            

               
Boo
            
         
      
      
F

            

               
Foo
            
         
      
      
P

            

               
Policy
            
            

               
Policy
            
         
      
   
   

      
R

            

               
Report
            
            

               
Report
            
         
      
      
T

            

               
Test2
            
            

               
Test1
            
         
      
   

Do note that most of the explanations in my first answer apply also to this solution with the only exception that here we do not use modes.
