Hi all, I'm new it this so I hope I'm posting this message the right way. Anyway... I've got a HTML-pager with a table, with a data island, so the XML data is bounded in the table by Datafld and Datasrc. Now I want to sort the XML-data by an XSL-file and a XSL:SORT command. However, this needs to be generic so I can use the same XSL for all kinds of XML, because else I have to make a XSL for every XML. Example: <?xml version="1.0"?> <book> <chapter> <number>2</number> <title>two</title> <paragraph>text 2</paragraph> </chapter> <chapter> <number>1</number> <title>one</title> <paragraph>text 1</paragraph> </chapter> </book> How do I sort this data by e.g. Number or by Title in a generic way. It's needs to output the "same" XML but sorted like: <?xml version="1.0"?> <book> <chapter> <number>1</number> <title>one</title> <paragraph>text 1</paragraph> </chapter> <chapter> <number>2</number> <title>two</title> <paragraph>text 2</paragraph> </chapter> </book> I know how to sort with xsl:param and <xsl:sort select="@*[name()=$sortfield]" order="{$sortorder}" /> but how do I get the XML back like the XML described above...??? I've spend a lot of this on this so I would greatly appreciate any help!! Thanks, Ernst Wolthaus XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
