Hi Charly,
> Is there a way to do <xsl:for-each ..... and looping backwards.
Sure. Sort (numerically) on position() in descending order:
<xsl:for-each select="histo/bar">
<xsl:sort select="position()" order="descending"
data-type="number" />
<xsl:value-of select="@value" />
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">,</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
Note that the call to position() in the select attribute of the
xsl:sort looks at the order of the selected nodes in the document,
whereas the call to position() within the xsl:for-each looks at the
sorted order of the nodes as they're being processed.
I hope that helps,
Jeni
