[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: What is the simplest method for using xsl:sort wi
 After I was told you had answered, I found your email in the junk. Sorry I missed it the first time. I am reconstructing the original sequence of journal articles from a <List> of non-sequential <Items>. My task is to sort the several hundred <Items>in a <List> container by Year, Issue Number, and Page. In the example below, only one <Item> is shown. I tried the template you suggested. As before, in the output I get a concatenation of the attribute values in the tags that have attributes. See <Cat> and <Person> illustrated as input and output below: Thanks, Mark You suggested:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:sort select="Article/Year" />
<xsl:sort select="Article/IssueNumber"/>
<xsl:sort select="Article/Page" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>My input:
<List>
<Item>
<Cat pofis="4" pofis-number="116"/>
<Subject>Errors</Subject>
<Subject>Color Errors</Subject>
<Subject>Olympic Games. Atlanta</Subject>
<Article>
<Person>Fritz, Zdenek</Person>
<Person is-author="false">Kleskovic, Peter Z.</Person>
<Title>Imperfect color se-tenant</Title>
<Year>2000</Year>
<IssueNumber>1</IssueNumber>
<IssueName>Jan/Feb</IssueName>
<Page>10</Page>
</Article>
</Item>
</List>The output from your template:
