RE: XSL to Sort XML Doc return XML Doc ?

Hi, Matt:

  Assume you want to sort on attribute1 and want to
have a copy of the record:
<records>
<xsl:for-each select="records/record">
	<xsl:sort select="@attribute1"/>
	<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</records>
xsl:sort sort the records, and xsl:copy-of make a deep
copy of the sorted record.

  BTW, it would be helpful in the future if you could
state your entire problem the first time so people who
try to help won't have to think about it twice.

Hope this helps,
Xiaocun
