[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Sorting and grouping
 Thanks to all who helped me with the PHP question. Now for something completely different: I have a non-sorted list I want to sort, but I also want to know when a group is new. I've managed to do this using for-each, sort and an if with a "not preceding". (Thanks to the faq and posts in this list) But the "not preceding" is not looking at the sorted order - it's looking at the orginal order in the XML-file. I want it to "search" the sorted list. Example: XSL: <xsl:output method="html" /> <xsl:template match="check"> <html> <table border="1"> <tr><th>new</th><th>i</th><th>g</th></tr> <xsl:for-each select="news"><xsl:sort select="@i" order="descending"/> <tr> <td><xsl:if test="not(preceding::g=g)">*</xsl:if></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="@i"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="g"/></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> XML: <check> <news i="6"><g>3</g></news> <news i="1"><g>2</g></news> <news i="5"><g>2</g></news> <news i="4"><g>1</g></news> <news i="3"><g>1</g></news> <news i="2"><g>3</g></news> </check> This outputs : (n = new, i=item, g=group) n i g * 6 3 5 2 * 4 1 3 1 2 3 * 1 2 <- i=1 is the first use of group 2 in the XML But I want it to output : n i g * 6 3 * 5 2 <- i=5 is the first use of group 2 in the sorted list * 4 1 3 1 2 3 1 2 Thanks in advance for any help!
