[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] following-sibling in for-each
 I am trying to output my xml as a two column table. I reviewed the FAQs and the archives, and came
up with a solution that uses position() mod 2 = 1 and the following-sibling axis to output each
row. I also need limit the nodes that are displayed and sort them. I am using xsl:for-each to loop
through the nodes, using a predicate to exclude the nodes that should not be displayed. I use
xsl:sort to sort the nodes.
The problem is that the following-sibling axis is returning the nodes in document order. I really
want to get the following node in xsl:for-each order.
xml

desired output
-----------------------------------------------
Specialty1 Degree
Ethnicity Sex
DOB SSN
Suffix EntityTypeID
Specialty2
actual output
-----------------------------------------------
Specialty1 Specialty2
Ethnicity Degree
DOB POBState
Suffix SSN
Specialty2
I am using MSXML 3, but have also tested on Saxon. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
