 Carlton,
1. You have the wrong namespace. Use
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
instead of
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xsl/transform">
2. There is no "match" attribute on apply-templates. Use
<xsl:apply-templates select="Contact" />
instead of
<xsl:apply-templates match="Contact" />
3. Beginners rule #1 *Don't* use xsl:for-each. Especialy in this case. What
will happen is the apply-templates will cause each Contact to be formatted
as per the Contact template. You then do a xsl:for-each on book/Contact
which does nothing because there are no book children of Contact. I guess
you meant /book/Contact but then you would just get Contact squared outputs.
So remove it all together.
It looks like you want to sort on LName going by order-by="+LName">.
order-by doesn't exist in the namespace you are using. Use a sort on the
apply-templates as per the first 2 lessons in the example.
<xsl:apply-templates select="Contact">
<xsl:sort select="LName" order="ascending" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
When you say you patterned it on my filtering example what did you do run it
through a randomiser?
