 I haven't looked at it closely, but I think you are sorting the dates as character strings, in which case it is quite proper that "-3" collates before "-4". Despite the extraordinary amount of space given in the type hierarchy to types such as xs:gYear and xs:gYearMonth, they don't seem much use to you here because you can't compare a gYear to a gYearMonth. So your best bet might be to use two sort keys, something like <xsl:sort select="substring(@when, 1, 5)" data-type="number"/> <xsl:sort select="@when" data-type="text"/> Michael Kay Saxonica On 1 Apr 2014, at 00:40, chiara@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Thanks, > now my sorting works. Just a short question. I managed to do the sorting in the root element. I have dates that are B.C. and A.D. and rightly I obtain the B.C. first and then the A.D. The B.C. are from the earliest to the oldest, and this is wrong. Should I do something in order that <date when=-0004-03>4-3 B.C.</date> comes before <date when=-0003>3 B.C.</date>? > Thanks again. > Chiara Salvagni > > Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2014 10:26:13 -0400 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Sorting a TEI list of biblFull with the date as descendant > of the author element > Message-ID: <CAAO_-xxrthcVXHXxzuXdJNAj3yWZeuyFLiERGkUNA0BWqZY+qw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Chiara, > > As I understand it, your question, "do I need to sort, the biblFull or > the titleStmt?", is one we can't answer.
