 I have a situation where I need to change from a text ordering to number order depending upon a parameter. Section 10 of XSLT states that all the attributes on xsl:sort can be attribute value templates, so assign a variable in advance of the for-each and then use the attribute value template: <xsl:variable name="use-data-type">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$A='Life'">number</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$A='P_C'">text</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each ...
<xsl:sort select="zzz" data-type="{$use-data-type}"/>
...I hope this helps. ........... Ken -- Upcoming hands-on courses: (registration still open!) - (XSLT/XPath and/or XSL-FO) North America: June 16-20, 2003 G.
