Hi,
1) my current date format is 28-Oct-1987(dd-mmm-yyyy), want to convert it yyyy-mm-dd format. 2) sort the dates XML code: <Employee startdate="11/20/1999"> <name>John</name> </Employee> <Employee startdate="07/06/2001"> <name>John</name> </Employee> <Employee startdate="04/23/1999"> <name>John</name> </Employee> xslt code to sort by date: <xsl:template match="Employee"> <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select="substring(@startdate,7,4)"/> <!-- year sort --> <xsl:sort select="substring(@startdate,1,2)"/> <!-- day sort --> <xsl:sort select="substring(@startdate,4,2)"/> <!-- month sort --> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:apply-templates> sorting this way is good approach or do we have any better approach. Thanks, Anil
