No magic here, just
<td><xsl:value-of select="soldto/lastname"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="shipto/lastname"/></td>
and so on.

Several possibilities:
(a) just access the data a second time, using "pull" logic (xsl:for-each,
xsl:value-of)
(b) process the data using xsl:apply-templates ("push" logic) and use a
different mode
(c) write a named template to do the formatted and call it from both places
(d) write a global variable to contain the formatted data as a result tree
fragment, and reference the variable from both places.
