Given xml <r id="d0e1588"> <bibno>050220</bibno> <play-time>08:15</play-time> <m100> <surname>Tootell</surname> <f-name>Betty</f-name> </m100> <m655> <cat>Java</cat> <term2>Indonesia</term2> <term3>Southeast</term3> <term4>Asia</term4> <term5>Vehicle Failures</term5> <term6>Accidents</term6> <term7>Air and Space Transport</term7> <term8>Public Safety</term8> <term9>Social Services</term9> <term10>Social Sciences</term10> </m655> <readers>Gretel Davis</readers> </r> lots of r elements in a <doc> wrapper. the termX elements are 'inverse' i.e. from specific to general. they also vary in 'depth' from 2 to 10. I need to sort the r elements, using a revese order on m655/termX <xsl:template match="doc"> <doc> <xsl:apply-templates select="date"/> <xsl:for-each select="r"> <xsl:sort select="m655/term10"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term9"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term8"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term7"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term6"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term5"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term4"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term3"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term2"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/term1"/> <xsl:sort select="m655/cat"/> <!-- Copy the current node --> <xsl:copy> <!-- Including any attributes it has and any child nodes --> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:for-each> </doc> </xsl:template> Sorts out the records, but by nesting. something like a b ... p a (I.e. this is at a lower level than the previous one) c ... Looking for inspiration as to how I might produce a sort that works 'across' the differing levels. Any advice appreciated.
