Recently submitted a post requesting help with sorting. my situation is still the same. i am merging many documents. i get the sort to work but not correctly. it appears to be looking at only the first node of each file and sorting the files according to the first node. i need to sort each individual file first. then merge the sort of all file, or sort each file then merge all.

mastermerge.xsl ===================================== <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:preserve-space elements="text"/> <xsl:template match="masterfile"> <merged> <table style="border:1px solid #000000;border-collapse:collapse"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document(doc/@filename)/client">  <xsl:sort select="subclient/name/lname" /> </xsl:apply-templates> </table> </merged> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select="translate(., '
', ' ')"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="client/subclient"> <xsl:copy>  <tr> <td style="border:1px solid #000000">   <xsl:for-each select="name"> <xsl:sort select="lname" order="ascending"/> <xsl:value-of select="fname"/> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="lname"/> </xsl:for-each>  </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000"> <xsl:apply-templates select="phones"/> </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000"> <xsl:apply-templates select="address"/> </td> </tr> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="address"> <xsl:for-each select="line"> <xsl:apply-templates/> <br/> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:value-of select="url"/> <br/> <xsl:value-of select="email"/> <br/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="name"> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ==================================== file1.xml ====================================
