[xsl] Sortable data-table


Hi,
I have a xml-file that respresents a data table, and a xsl-file that
shows this table. What I want to do is this: When a column header is
pressed(it`s a button) sort the resulting html-page on that column.
For example, my xml-file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE dataset PUBLIC 'datasetDTD' http://localhost/xmlDocs/dataset.dtd'> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://localhost/xmlDocs/dataset.xsl";?> <?cocoon-process type="xslt"?>

<dataset>
 <metaData>
   <tableName>EMPLOYEES</tableName>
   <columnInfo name="EMP_NO" type="SmallInt" size="6"/>
   <columnInfo name="FIRST_NAME" type="VarChar" size="15"/>
   <columnInfo name="LAST_NAME" type="VarChar" size="20"/>
 </metaData>
 <data>
   <row>
     <column name="EMP_NO">2</column>
     <column name="FIRST_NAME">Robert</column>
     <column name="LAST_NAME">Nelson</column>
   </row>
   <row>
     <column name="FIRST_NAME">K. J.</column>
     <column name="LAST_NAME">Weston</column>
     <column name="EMP_NO">11</column>
   </row>
   <row>
     <column name="FIRST_NAME">Luke</column>
     <column name="EMP_NO">61</column>
     <column name="LAST_NAME">Leung</column>
   </row>
 </data>
</dataset>

And my xsl-file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:processing-instruction name="cocoon-format">type="text/html"</xsl:processing-instruction> <html> <body> <table border="1" width="60%" bgcolor="WHITE" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" frame="border"> <caption> <xsl:value-of select="dataset/metaData/tableName"/> </caption> <tr> <xsl:for-each select="dataset/metaData/columnInfo"> <th> <INPUT> <xsl:attribute name="TYPE">SUBMIT</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="VALUE"> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> </xsl:attribute> </INPUT> </th> </xsl:for-each> </tr> <xsl:for-each select="dataset/data/row"> <xsl:variable name="row" select="."/> <tr> <xsl:for-each select="/dataset/metaData/columnInfo"> <td> <xsl:value-of select="$row/column[@name = current()/@name]"/> </td> </xsl:for-each> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

It there a way to do this? And if so, how?
Any suggestions and/or examples are greatly appreciated.
