RE: Chris Bayes tutorial: xsl:sort - sorting according

Thanks Chris.

The tutorial example works fine now.

However, in the application which is being written the xml is produced from
a database query then Java code uses the xalan processor to convert the xml
to html using xslt. It is this produced html file which I need the actual
sort on, is there a way that this can be done by using a xalan processor.

Tanz,
No there shouldn't be.
I just tried it here and it works fine.
When you say you "ran" the xsl against the xml what do you mean?
This is a clientside tutorial so the xml/xsl must be available in the
browser. If you produce html and open that in the browser it won't work of
course.
