 I am trying to use some of the new XSLT 2 functionality to improve my sorting and paging performance. Ideally I would be able to sort and splice a large document tree in one pass. So sort the tree and put x # of records in each result document. Here's a pseudo of what I'm trying to do: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <xsl:param name="perPage" select="number('10')"/> <xsl:template match="result"> <xsl:for-each select="row"> <xsl:sort select="lname"/> <xsl:sort select="fname"/> <xsl:variable name="page" select="ceiling(position()/$perPage)"/> <xsl:result-document href="out{$page}.xml"> <result> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </result> </xsl:result-document> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Obviously this won't work as it would try create a new result-document on each pass. Whereas I need the first $perPage rows to go into the same result-document. I was hoping to find a way to use the grouping functionality in xslt 2. Possibly grouping records by their page and then iterate through creating a new result-document for each group of records. I couldn't find a way to do this with one pass through the document, which is what I'm trying to stick with since I can potentially have very large incoming xml. Any ideas or suggestions for implementing an efficient method of sorting and then paging the results? Best Regards, Kyle
