Hi, > If I apply a template with a sort, as: > > <xsl:apply-templates select="node" mode="getmax"> > <xsl:sort select="@num" order="descending" data-type="number"/> > </xsl:apply-templates> > > will the sorting occur during the select, before the matching > template is > called, so I can do: After the select, before the templates are applied. So yes. > <xsl:template match="node" mode="getmax"> > <!-- I want only the <node> element that has the @num with > the highest > numerical value --> > <xsl:if test="position()=1"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:if> > </xsl:template> Sure, and you can also rewrite it <xsl:for-each select="node"> <xsl:sort select="@num" order="descending" data-type="number"/> <xsl:if test="position()=1"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> or you can use <http://exslt.org/math/functions/max/> if your processor support EXSLT.
