Re: xsl:number useless with xsl:sort?

Hi Jan,

<xsl:number> gives you the position of the element in the source tree, not
in the sorted sequence. What you need to do is a two-phase transformation:
1.create a temporary tree that contains the sorted elements
2.then process this (using xx:node-set()) to add the numbers.
