RE: sort by date

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss is the standard XML date format.

Sorting by date is easy when in this format (which is why it was chosen)
since ASCII-based sorting always gives the correct answer...

Try:

<xsl:for-each select="a4013-list/a4013>
	<xsl:sort select="@date"/>
	<xsl:value-of select="."/> [on date: <xsl:value-of
select="@date"/> ]
</xsl:for-each>

Hi:
I'm trying to sort by date but the date format is
a little bit extrange:

<a4013-list>
  <a4013 date="1998-01-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
  <a4013 date="1999-12-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
  <a4013 date="1999-05-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
  <a4013 date="2001-12-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
  <a4013 date="2001-12-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
  <a4013 date="1999-07-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
  <a4013 date="1999-12-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
  <a4013 date="2002-12-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
  <a4013 date="2002-07-03T00:00:00">FRUTAS</a4013>
</a4013-list>

the "T00:00:00" has no use but some one can point an
idea to get the desired sort by date?

thanks in advance
Ani
