and tested it in Netscape 7 for mac and the result is
____________________________________________________________________________
RESULT
languages
other language English speak good read excellent write good
mother tongue Italiano
other language Français speak basic read basic write basic
____________________________________________________________________________
As you can seen the result is not what I want. The lines are not ordered by
type attribute, but by xml order. Have I done something wrong?
With xslt can I order a list created with xsl:for-each specifying a precise
order?
i.e. I want to make a list and I want to display first the items with
attribute type="special offer" in ascending order and then all the other
ones by ascending order.
XML
<item type="special offer!">book</item>
<item>book</item>
...
RESULT
special offer! book $10
special offer! cd $5
special offer! doll $10
book $20
cd $10
doll $20
Thank you very much!
