 Thanks! Setting @lang="en" did the trick. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2015 3:29 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Sorting Hex v. Decimal Start by using <xsl:sort lang="en"/> and see whether the results are satisfactory. If not, try some other language more appropriate to the data-set. If you want to refine it further, define a collation. For example <xsl:sort collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?ignore-case=yes"/> Information on Saxon collations is at http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/index.html#!extensibility/config-extend /collation/implementing-collation Michael Kay Saxonica mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx +44 (0) 118 946 5893 On 2 Apr 2015, at 01:25, Charles O'Connor charles.oconnor@xxxxxxxxxxxx <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > As a test for something a bit more complex, I am trying to do a simple sort of names, some of which start with character entity references: > > <root> > <author><surname>Öborn</surname></author> > <author><surname>Jones</surname></author> > <author><surname>Edwards</surname></author> > <author><surname>Osgood</surname></author> > <author><surname>Èmeraldo</surname></author> > <author><surname>Smith</surname></author> > </root> > > Using this transform: > > <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" > version="1.0"> > <xsl:output encoding="ASCII"/> > <xsl:template match="/"> > <html> > <body> > <h1>Author List</h1> > <xsl:for-each select="//author"> > <xsl:sort select="surname"/> > <p> > <xsl:value-of select="surname"/> > </p> > </xsl:for-each> > </body> > </html> > </xsl:template> > </xsl:stylesheet> > > I want two things, the entities to come out in hex and the sort to treat characters with diacriticals as equivalent to same characters without diacriticals.
