[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: sorting and numbering
 Why are you using number when you can use position? In your case number is
not necessary
<xsl:template match="body">
<xsl:apply-templates select="para[@order]">
<xsl:sort select="@order"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
And as you can see you don't need <xsl:for-each> for sorting. It works on
<xsl:apply-templates> too.
<xsl:template match="para">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($pos, ' ', text())"/>
<xsl:for-each select="para">
<xsl:value-of select="concat($pos, '.', position(), ' ', text())"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Hope this helps,
