XSLT 2.0 for loop one XML node which matches with data in other XML

I'm trying to loop through below XML B on Root node which matches with XML A with the XSLT pseudo code as given below. As i'm new to XSLT please help

XML A:

<P_OUT_PARTNUMBERS>
        <Row>
            <Column>53</Column>
        </Row>
        <Row>
            <Column>54</Column>
        </Row>
</P_OUT_PARTNUMBERS>

XML B:

<P_OUT_PARTNUMBERS>
        <Root>
            <Field>53</Field>
        </Root>
        <Root>
            <Field>30</Field>
        </Root>
</P_OUT_PARTNUMBERS>

XSLT:

<xsl:for-each select="$XMLB/Root">
    <xsl:variable name="Fieldvalue" select ="/Field"/>
    <xsl:if test="$XMLA/Row[Column = $Fieldvalue]/Column" >
          <xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

I want something like below as i don't want to loose value of position() because of if condition. i.e. position() value should be 1,2,3,..etc with my logic i'm getting 1,3,6,8,..etc not continuos

If the position() function doesn't do the job you expect or want it to do we will have a hard time to understand what you want to achieve if your explanation relies on asking position() something it doesn't do. What is the task in terms of input/output mapping?

If you want to process P_OUT_PARTNUMBERS/Root[key('col', Field, $docA)] then perhaps just do that with a key e.g. <xsl:key name="col" match="P_OUT_PARTNUMBERS/Row" use="Column"/>. In general moving conditions from nested xsl:ifs to a simple predicate might be more along the lines of having a continuous sequence.
