[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: sorting union results
Hey Doug, It sorted for me, if I understood the intent correctly. Here was my xml: <glossary> <entry> <term>A term</term> <acronym>A acronym</acronym> <definition></definition> </entry> <entry> <term>C term</term> <acronym>C acronym</acronym> <definition></definition> </entry> <entry> <term>B term</term> <acronym>B acronym</acronym> <definition></definition> </entry> </glossary> Here was the output: <p>A acronym:</p> <p>A term:</p> <p>B acronym:</p> <p>B term:</p> <p>C acronym:</p> <p>C term:</p> Is that not what you wanted? If so, then maybe your problem is elsewhere in your stylesheet. Is this RTF being directly output'ed? Or, are you capturing this in an xsl:variable? -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Doug Howell [mailto:doug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 1:10 PM To: XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: sorting union results Hi, all, Given a structure like this: <glossary> <entry> <term></term> <acronym></acronym> <definition></definition> </entry> </glossary> I'd like my stylesheet to create a list of glossary terms, inserting the acronyms (as if they were terms) where they fit alphabetically in the list. I'd like to avoid having to create another entry for each acronym and keep the XML document smaller.) I tried this: <xsl:for-each select="//term|//acronym"> <xsl:sort select="." order="ascending"/> <p><xsl:value-of select="."/>:</p> </xsl:for-each> This lists the terms and acronyms together, but doesn't sort them (they come out in document order). I think I've read that the union operator can only deliver the selected nodes in document order. Is there any workaround to do what I want to do without creating an intermediary document? Thanks!
