Re: following-sibling in a sorted result tree?

see the thread

  Subject: RE:  following-sibling and xsl:sort

earlier today where exactly this point was explained (By Michael, more
clearly than me I think in this case)


> Do I somehow need to create a parallel result tree?

probably that's the easiest thing to do.
First sort then process.
<xsl:variable name="x">
 <xsl:for-each select="ITEM">
  <xsl:sort select="@NAME"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="$x/ITEM">
  <xsl:sort select="@NAME"/>
    <xsl:result-document href="./{$something}.html" format="myhtml">
        .....
        <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::*[1]/@NAME"/> <!--next 
sorted ITEM ? -->
        ....
    </xsl:result-document>
</xsl:for-each>

There are probably slightly more involved ways that avoid copying all
the item nodes, but the above is the basic idea.
