My query is that of a basic one, but with trying to many times, i have failed in getting my xml data churned out in descending order, rather than ascending, which is the de facto standard.

My XML structure is as follows:

<archive>
        <news>
                <date>          </date>
                <article>       </article>
                <author>        </author>
        </news>
</archive>

The XSL i use as follows:

<?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:for-each select="archive/news"> <xsl:sort select="archive/news" order="descending"> <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="yell" align="left"><xsl:value-of select="date"/></td> <tr> <td align="center"><xsl:value-of select="article"/></td> </tr> <tr><td class="yell" align="right"><xsl:value-of select="author"/></td></tr> </tr> <tr /> <tr /> <tr /> <tr /> <tr /> <tr /> <tr /> </table> </xsl:sort> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

It simply doesnt work, i have tried changing the nodes, and also have tried changing where to put the sort, i understand it has to be within the for-each.

if anyone can provide a solution to this problem, much appreciated

thanks in advance

Gill.
