Hi Wendell,
 The syntax <xsl:value-of
select="count(preceding::item[category=current()/category])+1"/>
when placed at <!-- ?? --> in my XSL, produces
numbering 1,2,1,2 and not 1,2,3,4 !

Are you sure you're using the preceding:: axis, not preceding-sibling?


I am also interested to know how the numbering
(1,2,3,4 ..) can be produced using
- a 2 pass solution
- using node-set extension

The two-pass solution would simply be:


pass 1: sort and create output
pass 2: number

The node-set-extension-based solution would be the same, except that pass 1 would be bound to a variable, then that variable's value (a result-tree-fragment) changed to a node-set (in a second variable declaration); then you'd apply templates to that node set to get the numbering.

I'd go into more detail but I'm kinda swamped at the moment.... :->

Cheers,
Wendell
