Re: Text Sort Problem

<xsl:for-each select="row">
<xsl:sort select="boolean(pb_number)" order="descending"/>
<xsl:sort select="pb_number" data-type="text"/>
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="string"/>

Entries with empty sequenz
CR90
CR99
PR90

I have a similar problem (with data-type=number) a short time ago ... but
the solution at that time doesnt work here for this current problem.

the solution I posted (negating the sort key) doesn't work for non
numeric keys, but the solution Mike posted (which was probably more
sensible anyway) does work here. Just have an initial xsl:sort that is
select="boolean(my_text)"
as that will sort everything as either "true" or "false" depending on
whether my_text selects any nodes. so you can then specify ascending or
descending to control whether the empty case ("false") sorts before or
after the non-empty case ("true")
