The date format that you chose allows for sorting the value as text. Input XML: <events> <event> <date>2004-02-12</date> </event> <event> <date>2003-02-15</date> </event> <event> <date>2004-03-01</date> </event> <event> <date>2001-02-11</date> </event> <event> <date>2004-11-15</date> </event> </events> The XSL template: <!-- match the root of the document --> <xsl:template match="/"> <!-- output sorted_events element --> <sorted_events> <!-- Iterate over all events/event nodes --> <xsl:for-each select="events/event"> <!-- sort the nodes by text value of the events/event/date node --> <xsl:sort select="date" data-type="text" order="ascending"/> <!-- copy of the event node to the output --> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:for-each> </sorted_events> </xsl:template> Output XML: <sorted_events> <event> <date>2001-02-11</date> </event> <event> <date>2003-02-15</date> </event> <event> <date>2004-02-12</date> </event> <event> <date>2004-03-01</date> </event> <event> <date>2004-11-15</date> </event> </sorted_events> Hope this helps, Josh -----Original Message----- From: allan.mccluskey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:allan.mccluskey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 12:28 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Sorting different date formats Hi all, Could someone please show me how to perform and XSL:SORT on an date in this format? <endDate>2004-02-15</endDate> I have many other sorts that I need to perform so an explantion would also be much appreciated so I can fully understand how you do it : ) Many thanks, Allan Important: This e-mail is intended for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is confidential, commercially valuable or subject to legal or parliamentary privilege.
