Hi, Check out my comments below: <xsl:template match="DISPLAY"> <xsl:variable name="sort_col" select="CONFIG/COL[ORDERBY/text()='1']/ID/text()" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="DATA/ROW" mode="do_data"> <!-- VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Remove the /VALUE/text() from here --> <xsl:sort select="COL[@ID=$sort_col]/VALUE/text()" /> <!-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ --> <xsl:sort select="COL[@ID=$sort_col2]/VALUE/text()" /> <!-- You are sorting on nodes not on their content. If you want to sort by more than 1 col you can specify one more sort instruction as above. --> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="ROW" mode="do_data"> <xsl:value-of select="COL[@ID='ColA']/VALUE/text()" />, <xsl:value-of select="COL[@ID='ColB']/VALUE/text()" />, <xsl:value-of select="COL[@ID='ColC']/VALUE/text()" />, <xsl:value-of select="COL[@ID='ColD']/VALUE/text()" /> <!-- You just list the columns you want displayed above --> <br /> </xsl:template> Hope this helps.

Can anyone suggest a way to achive this ? Thanks Steve This e-Mail may contain proprietary and confidential information and is sent for the intended recipient(s) only.
