Re: sorting in <xsl:apply-templates>

I guess, you wish to sort by Attribute seq ;) Below is
the XSL, which does this ;)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
	
<xsl:template match="chapters">
   <xsl:for-each select="chapter">
     <xsl:sort select="@seq" data-type="number" />
	<document source="{@uri}" bookmark="{@title}"/>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
