Hi guys,

I am drawing a table with a row for each NODE and a column for each ID attribute of the REF children.

However, if there is an attribute which contains the words "INTRO" or "UNO" I must display those attributes in the first column.
For example if I have these tags

<Node>
<REF ID=0221>some text</REF>
<REF ID=01212INTRO>some other text</REF>
<REF ID=0001>some text</REF>
</Node>
<Node>
<REF ID=3>some text</REF>
<REF ID=32>some other text</REF>
<REF ID=51UNO>some text</REF>
</Node>
<Node>
<REF ID=3566>some text</REF>
<REF ID=32>some other text</REF>
<REF ID=51>some text</REF>
</Node>

Here is the output I require

01212INTRO 0221 0001
51UNO 3 32
3566 32 51

My question is, is there some way to integrate this sorting possibility through xsl?
Right now, this snippet simply writes the IDs as it sees them.

<xsl:for-each select="REF">
<TD width="96">
<xsl:value-of select="@ID"/>
</TD>
</xsl:for-each>

Many thanks

Alicia

Next time, please post well-formed XML; if you're asking for free
advice, it would be nice if you could make it as easy as possible
for us to give it.

That being said, see the attached.

I hope you purchase/have purchased Stylus Studio, since you posted
on our support forum. But in any case, we're happy to help.
