RE: MSXML3: Numerical sort needed...

Hello,

A question similar to this came up earlier this week and I proposed the use of <xsl:sort>.  However, I think it came out that MS XML doesn't support <xsl:sort> and that using number() in the order-by was the way to go...

So:

<xsl:for-each select="book" order-by="number(-@priceMin)">
   ...
</xsl:for-each>

I think that'll do it, provided that MS XML supports number().

Thanks,
   Brian Young

Hi, folks.

Somebody tried to give a solution for a problem:
<xsl:for-each select="book" order-by="-@priceMin">
it performs character sorts rather numerical (Am I clear?)
"9.99" is greater than "23.99"

and I deleted this message...
I need solution for msxml3

Thanks
