[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: problem with xsl:sort
 <xsl:for-each> processes a set of nodes. The set of nodes is determined by the select attribute. Saying select="." selects exactly one node. The <xsl:sort> element determines the order in which the set of nodes will be processed. For a set containing only one node, there is only one possible order of processing, so <xsl:sort> is completely pointless. I hope this makes it clearer. I guess what you really wanted was for me to rewrite your code. You picked the short straw on that - I'm not Jeni Tennison.
