> I am currently trying to sort something which cannot be done numerically or > textually. I need to sort things in a specific order i.e. b comes before d > comes before a. Does XSL have the functionality to do this? have a document say sort.xml that looks like <sort> <x order="1">b</x> <x order="2">d</x> <x order="3">a</x> </sort> then in your stylesheet you can go <xsl:sort data-type="number" select="document('sort.xml')/sort/x[.=current()]/@order"/> Or if your real case really is one letter sort keys you don't need the file you can go <xsl:sort data-type="text" select="translate(.,'bda',abc')"/> David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
