Re: Sorting problem

I hope this helps,

Hello All,

I have been looking in the sorting FAQ but haven't been able to solve my
problem.

I am trying to do a sort based on a parameter which I can do ok with the
following sort statement:

<xsl:sort select="server_name[$sort='server_name'] |
                            nds_name[$sort='nds_name'] |
                            short_name[$sort='short_name'] |
                            total_space[$sort='total_space']"
order="{$order}" data-type="{$dtype}"/>

The above code sorts fine but I have one other sorting criteria. Based on
the used_space and total_space I figure a percent value and would like to
sort on it. The problem is I can get it to work all by its lonesome using
the following:

<xsl:sort select="format-number((number(used_space) div number(total_space))
* 100,'0')" order="{$order}" data-type="number"/>

but when I put it in with the following I get an error.

<xsl:sort select="server_name[$sort='server_name'] |
                  nds_name[$sort='nds_name'] |
                  short_name[$sort='short_name'] |
                  total_space[$sort='total_space'] |
                  format-number((number(used_space) div number(total_space))
*100,'0')[$sort='percent']"
order="{$order}" data-type="{$dtype}"/>
