Hello,
Don't know if that's the best way to do it but it works
if you include <index> elements into <something></something>
<xsl:template match="something">
<xsl:apply-templates select="index">
<xsl:sort select="@entry"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="index">
<xsl:if test="not(@entry = preceding::index/@entry)">
<xsl:value-of select="@entry"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
