[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] First Element in Sorted List Play the video Subject: First Element in Sorted List From: John <john-xsl-list@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2005 06:38:59 -0700 I am hoping to to confirm something before going in the wrong direction. My process needs to take action on the first element in a list of elements where the logic to determine first is the lowest numeric value of the sortorder attribute. I don't believe there is a one-line way to do this - I believe the entire list must be sorted, and then the position of each element after sort compared to determine if it is first. Is there a shorter/less expensive way to code the following <xsl:for-each select="item"> <xsl:sort select="@sortorder" data-type="number" /> <xsl:if test="position() = 1"> <!-- this is the first element in the sorted list --> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> I searched and found examples using this technique, but nothing really saying that this was the best or only approach. Thanks in advance, -John Current Thread Re: Keys (easy one) match on name(), (continued) Mukul Gandhi - 1 Jun 2005 04:51:31 -0000 Karl Stubsjoen - 1 Jun 2005 05:04:57 -0000 Michael Kay - 1 Jun 2005 07:45:27 -0000 Message not available Karl Stubsjoen - 1 Jun 2005 13:26:34 -0000 John - 1 Jun 2005 13:39:15 -0000 <= JBryant - 1 Jun 2005 14:31:43 -0000 David Carlisle - 1 Jun 2005 14:53:53 -0000 Michael Kay - 2 Jun 2005 03:07:47 -0000 Andrew Welch - 1 Jun 2005 14:34:02 -0000 <- Previous Index Next -> Re: Keys (easy one) match on , Karl Stubsjoen Thread Re: First Element in Sorted L, JBryant Re: Keys (easy one) match on , Karl Stubsjoen Date RE: First Element in Sorted L, Andrew Welch Month
