Subject: XSL does not sort

Hi friends,

Could you help me with this please. i have tried all possible things
but in vain, what i want is my original xml but with employee sorted by
the attribute "x". my xsl refuses to do that.What have i missed?

Here is my xsl
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:aco="http://www.org/TRIP2004A/01"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<xsl:template match="/aco:details/aco:employees">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:sort data-type="number" select="@x" order="ascending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>

<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And here is my xml

<details>
<employees>
<test>fgdsfg</test>
<employee hireDate="04/23/1999" x="3">
<last>Hill3</last>
<first>Phil</first>
<salary>100000</salary>
</employee>
<test>fgdsfg</test>
<test1>fgdsfgfgfdg</test1>
<employee hireDate="09/01/1998" x="1">
<last>Herbert1</last>
<first>Johnny</first>
<salary>95000</salary>
</employee>
<employee hireDate="08/20/2000" x="2">
<last>Hill2</last>
<first>Graham</first>
<salary>89000</salary>
</employee>
</employees>
<employees>
<employee hireDate="04/23/1999" x="6">
<last>Hill6</last>
<first>Phil6</first>
<salary>100000</salary>
</employee>
<employee hireDate="09/01/1998" x="1">
<last>Herbert1</last>
<first>Johnn1</first>
<salary>95000</salary>
</employee>
<employee hireDate="08/20/2000" x="5">
<last>Hill5</last>
<first>Graham5</first>
<salary>89000</salary>
</employee>
</employees>
</details>

Hi Zeinah,

You have two groups called "employees" of elements "employee".
Do you need to sort the elements inside each group or something else?

Could you post the result you are looking for?

Your XSLT works just fine.

There is only one discrepancy:

You have a template that matches /aco:details/aco:employees where prefix "aco" is bound to the namespace "http://www.org/TRIP2004A/01" but your input document is not using that namespace.

You either change the input document root to be the following
<details xmlns="http://www.org/TRIP2004A/01">

or change the match attribute to be
<xsl:template match="/details/employees">

Hope this helps
