Re: Hi ... brand new to list ... and of course .. I ne

i slighty changed the XSL you have written. i
introduced a <xsl:for-each loop instead of
<xsl:apply-templates and have used <xsl:sort to sort
the records based on <revision> tag. Below is the
complete XSL. i guess you mean Alpha based on
<revision> tag..
