Hi Michael,
There are about 20 different elements in my files. I have not counted
yet the precise figure.
You are right, I would have trouble sorting /root[1]/a[3] and /root[1]/b[5].
It is better to log the string length from root to the beginning of each
particular node, and then use that number to rank the elements from Top
to Bottom. In fact, that is what I want to do. What be your
recommendation to do that?
Ty,

If you had /root[1]/a[3] and /root[1]/b[5], how would you want them sorted?
I would expect that Saxon's alphanumeric collation would do quite a good job
of this:
<xsl:perform-sort select="tokenize(unparsed-text('input.txt'), '\n')">
<xsl:sort select="."
collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?alphanumeric=yes"/>
</xsl:perform-sort>

Subject: Ranking Random Nodes from Top to Bottom
Hi all,
I got a long list of absolute xpath paths in a flat file, like
/root[1]/node[2]/node[12]/node[1]
/root[1]/node[1]
/root[1]/node[2]/node[12]/node[1]
/root[1]/node[4]/node[12]
/root[1]
Is there an existing function in Saxon or ready-made code to
rank the list of nodes from top to bottom?
Thanks by advance!
