I also have needed a preceding::sibling within the /sorted/ order, but I found a better algorithm solved that. Here's my question, while writing a stylesheet recently I got a node's position(): <li class="count"> <xsl:text>Photo </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="position()" /> <xsl:text> of </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="$total-photos" /> </li> within the context: <xsl:apply-templates select="atom:feed/atom:entry"> <xsl:sort select="position()" data-type="number" order="descending" /> </xsl:apply-templates> (obviously an XSL transformation of Atom of a photo gallery) So the last entry element (let's say 5) showed a position() of 1 ... which surprised me. I expected to have to reverse the number with "$total-photos - position() + 1". So the axes go in document order but functions do not? I am using libxslt 1.0. Can anybody point me to the clause in the standard where it covers axes context vs. function context? Thx, -- Rodman
