I have run into something (embarrassingly) unexpected, using sort to alphabetize book titles to be printed in a catalog. The sort is working pefectly for most of the books. But here are 5 examples of incorrect sorting (that were, sigh, pointed out to me by the client): Computers at Risk: Safe Computing in the Information Age (should be 2nd) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (should be 1st) Effectiveness of the United States Advanced Battery Consortium as a Government-Industry Partnership (should be 5th) Effective Services for Young Children: Report of a Workshop (should be 4th) Effect of Environment on Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals (should be 3rd) ---- The XSLT ----------------- <xsl:template match="book"> <xsl:for-each select="."> <xsl:sort select="title"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="title"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> ------------------------------- ---- The XML ------------------ <book> <title>Computers at Risk: Safe Computing in the Information Age</title> </book> <book> <title>Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence</title> </book> <book> <title>Effectiveness of the United States Advanced Battery Consortium as a Government-Industry Partnership</title> </book> <book> <title>Effective Services for Young Children: Report of a Workshop</title> </book> <book> <title>Effect of Environment on Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals</title> </book> ------------------------------- Can anyone help me understand why the alphabetizing doesn't come out as expected?
