Hi anton,

hope you had a nice holiday.

i tried replacing that "/case/status" with just "status" in

<xsl:for-each select="/runs/case">
   <!--ascending or descending-->
   <xsl:apply-templates select="document(@filename)/case">
      <xsl:sort select="status" data-type = "text" order="descending"/>
   </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>

still not seeing a sort. could the document(@filename)/case be fixing things?


thanks,

sylvia
