Hello, Its a little more complicated now as i managed to signififcantly reduce the amount of code by using nsindex. <xsl:for-each select="child::category"> <xsl:variable name="catnamemod" select="translate(name,' ','_')" /> <xsl:for-each select="document($nsindex/*[name()=$catnamemod])/root/child::*"> <xsl:if test="@topfive=true()"> <xsl:variable name="url" select="url" /> <li><a href="{$url}"><xsl:value-of select="title" /></a></li> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> Basically in the second for-each there could be anything from 1-9 documents which are only known during the translation. The content form these files needs to be alphabetically ordered and i wasnt sure how to do it? nsindex refers to a node set of urls where the name of teh variables are equal to the different catnamemods...

> i have 4 for-each loops which gather specific info from each file:

why not just have one:

<xsl:for-each select="document(http:..doc1..)/foo/bar |
                      document(http:..doc2..)/x/y |
                      document(http:..doc3..)/a/b |
                      document(http:..doc4..)/zz/c">
<xsl:sort select="....
