[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Is this a sorting bug in xalan 6.4.0?
 <NameList> <Record><Name>A</Name></Record> <Record><Name>AAL</Name></Record> <Record><Name>Amanda</Name></Record> <Record><Name>Amy</Name></Record> <Record><Name>A Maureen</Name></Record> </NameList> ...and applying the following stylesheet... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/> <xsl:variable name="lower" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/> <xsl:variable name="upper" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/> <xsl:template match="NameList">
<xsl:comment><xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/>
</xsl:comment>
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Record">
<xsl:sort select="translate(Name, $lower, $upper)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="Record"> <tr><td><xsl:value-of select="Name"/></td></tr> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I get... <!--Apache Software Foundation--><table> <tr> <td>A</td> </tr> <tr> <td>AAL</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Amanda</td> </tr> <tr> <td>A Maureen</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Amy</td> </tr> </table> ...using xalan, and (for example)... <!--SAXON 6.4.1 from Michael Kay--><table>
<tr>
<td>A</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A Maureen</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>AAL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Amanda</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Amy</td>
</tr>
</table>...using saxon. It looks like xalan is removing the space between "A" and "Maureen", causing it to sort below Amanda. It looks like a bug to me, agreed? I couldn't find similar examples on either this list's archives or on xalan's bug list. Stan Dyck sgd@xxxxxxxxxxxx p.s. Note, I can work around the bug by replacing my upper and lower variables with... <xsl:variable name="lower" select="' abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/> <xsl:variable name="upper" select="'_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
