RE: Need help on sorting a dollar amount.

Hi,
	Some one on the list has already helped me out. 
	He sent it to me directly.

Here is the XML and the XSL.


	When I try to sort on th MRC, it was not sorted. My guess was
because of the comma in the dollar amount. So I used 
	<xsl:sort select="translate(MRC, ',', '')" data-type="number"
order="ascending"/>

	It did not work, probably because some thing else worng in my
enviromnet. 
	Senthil pointed out that it works for him. Now it works fine for me.

Thanks for you help,
Sreeni


The XML:
*********************
	  <StatementLocations>
		<Locations>
	 	  <Location>
