Hello,

How is it possible to find out whether a node is the first of its kind after the sort?

I tried to take benefit from the select-distinct examples to solve this problem but the preceding-sibling axis refers to the context node and,

in a template applied via a sorted apply-templates, this axis still follows the unsorted nodes (at least with LotusXSL).

    <xsl:apply-templates select="//news">
          <xsl:sort select="normalize(.//category)"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>

<xsl:template match="news">
category : <xsl:value-of select="./category"/>

first? : <xsl:value-of select="not(preceding-sibling::news[normalize(./category)=normalize(current()/category)])"/>

</xsl:template>

Thanks in advance,

Tangi
