joe jSubject: Reverse Reading!!
Author: joe j
Date: 02 Apr 2005 04:49 AM
Hello,

How can I use XSLT 1.0 to reverse the reading of the XML?

example:-

having the following XML:
<mark1>
<name>
John>
</name>
</mark1>

<mark2>
<name1>
Joseph
</name1>
<name2>
Tester
</name2>
</mark2>


How can I read the xml file in a reverse way, so I get the mark2 first and then mark1?
Of course, I wouldnt know what are the order of the tags in the xml file but i know that tags can be only the following:-
<mark1/>
<mark2/>
<mark3/>
<mark4/>
<mark5/>

thank you :-)

One way would be to loop in descending order on the markX elements; assuming the context of your XSLT is set to the markX parent, you can do:

<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:sort select="position()" order="descending"/>
<!-- do something here with the markX element -->
</xsl:for-each>

Hope this helps,
Minollo
