Below is something we use as part of a much more involved stylesheet. Although looking at it now it's not the most efficient piece of code as it loops through the same nodes several times. (We use it to break output into groups of five columns and know we'll never have more than 3 or 4 groups, so we didn't need to worry about running through the same nodes a few extra times.)
I think for efficiency and straighforwardness, the Steve Tinney example from the link in the previous post is probably the best way to go.
