Hello,
I have an XML file which rather generically describes the information to display in an HTML table, like so: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="attribute-sort.xsl" ?> <ROWSET> <ROW> <COLUMN name="Col1" value="4-1" /> <COLUMN name="Col2" value="4-2" /> <COLUMN name="Col3" value="4-3" /> </ROW> <ROW> <COLUMN name="Col1" value="1-1" /> <COLUMN name="Col2" value="1-2" /> <COLUMN name="Col3" value="1-3" /> </ROW> <ROW> <COLUMN name="Col1" value="3-1" /> <COLUMN name="Col2" value="3-2" /> <COLUMN name="Col3" value="3-3" /> </ROW> <ROW> <COLUMN name="Col1" value="2-1" /> <COLUMN name="Col2" value="2-2" /> <COLUMN name="Col3" value="2-3" /> </ROW> </ROWSET> And an XSL file which creates an HTML table, like so: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/">
<HTML><BODY>
<xsl:apply-templates select="ROWSET"/>
</BODY></HTML>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="ROWSET"> <TABLE border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <TR STYLE="font-size:x-small;"> <xsl:for-each select="ROW[position()=1]/COLUMN"> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> </xsl:for-each> </TR> <xsl:apply-templates select="ROW"> <xsl:sort select="COLUMN[@value]"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </TABLE> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="ROW"> <!-- Output rows of the table --> <TR STYLE="font-size:x-small;"> <xsl:for-each select="COLUMN"> <TD valign="top"><xsl:apply-templates select="@value"/> </TD> </xsl:for-each> </TR> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> My problem is that I'd like to be able to sort on a column name. That is to say, I'd like to be able to sort the ROWs in the order of the @value attribute for the COLUMN which has a matching @name attribute. This is rather difficult to explain--think about a list control where you can click any of the headers and sort the entire list based upon that column. To keep this as generic as possible, I don't really want to change the XML, only the XSL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
