Re:  Pairing elements according to attributes with XSLT
Thanks again Hermann.

The problem is that putting the sort in there, sorts it using the
first keyword, and not the one that is used to search.

For example, if I run the XLS with this parameters:
<xsl:with-param name="from" select="'small'" />
<xsl:with-param name="to" select="'tiny'" />

With this XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE KeywordsInfo [
<!ELEMENT KeywordsInfo (KeywordsEntry+)>
<!ELEMENT KeywordsEntry (keyword+)>
<!ELEMENT keyword (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST keyword size (big|medium|small|tiny) #REQUIRED>
]>
<KeywordsInfo>
 <KeywordsEntry>
  <keyword size="big">a-Big</keyword>
  <keyword size="small">z-Small</keyword>
  <keyword size="tiny">z-Tiny</keyword>
 </KeywordsEntry>
 <KeywordsEntry>
  <keyword size="small">m-Small</keyword>
  <keyword size="tiny">m-Tiny</keyword>
 </KeywordsEntry>
</KeywordsInfo>


It shows z-Small as the first element (and not m-Small), since it's
sorting using "<keyword size="big">a-Big</keyword>", although I'm
searching from 'small' to 'tiny'

Hope it makes sense, thanks,

Andy.
