Re: How to reorder tree by member

Hi,

I think similar problems have been raised before which attribute to the
shortcoming of the XSL spec where EqualityExpr cannot accept a select
pattern but just a Literal.

For now, you have to explicitly list the GROUP name. 
Alternative approach can be to write another XSL to generate your required
XSL.

There is a example at following site (from James Tauber) to achieve this:
