Then you don't need $group-position ... in what I see in your bit 
below it is totally redundant.

It was there to get the first of the current-group() in the first of 
the groups, so if you aren't walking through the groups then you 
don't need it.  You are acting on only the first member of each 
group, thus I gather you are doing it for de-duping and not for 
classical grouping.

You might want to review taking out $group-position because it isn't 
doing anything for you.

I'm glad things have worked out for you.  And a Happy Hallowe'en to 
you and yours!
