[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] XSLT sorting for index alphabetization
 <xsl:sort select="replace(., '[\s\p{P}-[(,]]', '') ! replace(., ',.*|\(.*','')"/>
<xsl:sort select="matches(., '^[^(]+,')"/>
<xsl:sort select="replace(., '[\s\p{P}-[(,]]+', '')"/>If anyone wants to test it out with the examples that are used in the Chicago Manual of Style to illustrate the system, I've put the full script, data, and relevant chunk of the CMS up here: http://lister.ei.virginia.edu/~drs2n/alpha/ . (Suggested refinements/improvements would be welcome.) I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how one might implement the word-by-word system (described at the above URL) using xsl:sort, but I'm not sure it's possible--it seems that word-by-word would require a full-blown recursive sorting routine. I'm happy to be proven wrong, though, by anyone who has tackled this before or is cleverer than I am about such things.
