Meeting Date sounds like the attribute contains a date. What format does 
that date have? Is that a sortable format like yyyy-mm-dd?

As for the grouping, do you use XSLT 2.0 or 1.0?

With XSLT 2.0 you would simply use two nested xsl:for-each-group 
elements e.g.
   <xsl:for-each-group select="row" group-by="@Meeting_x0020_Date">
     <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" 
group-by="@bsc_SiteProperties">

With XSLT 1.0 you need to use Muenchian grouping with two keys where the 
second key concatenates the two attribute values (with some separator 
character). See 
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200101/msg00070.html

If you need more help then please show us a code sample of the XML input 
  so that we have some data to write an XSLT stylesheet against.
