Hi all,

Can we say that this sorting is not possible?

Hi all,

Following style sheet processes multiple xml documents (lets say
file1.xml, file5.xml and file8.xml). It will sort all the results by
modificationDate seperately and will output the results as following.

link1	021203	(From File1)
link2	011203	(From File1)
link3	101103	(From File5)
link4	031203	(From File8)
link5	091103	(From File8)


I want to sort everything together.  For example,

link4	031203	(From File8)
link1	021203	(From File1)
link2	011203	(From File1)
link3	101103	(From File5)
link5	091103	(From File8)

Any suggestions?
Regards,
/s
