Hi YueMa, > How can I create a node set with specific order other than document > order? As David "pure mathematician" Carlisle says, node sets aren't ordered, so you can't create one with an order, but you can choose what order to process them in. > How about if I want to display like: > title2 > title4 > title1 > title3 Then apply templates (or use xsl:for-each) in that order: <xsl:apply-templates select="title2" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="title4" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="title1" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="title3" /> This hardcodes into the stylesheet the order in which they're processed in a certain context. You could select the order in any number of ways. > the order is not fixed and may changd everytime, and even the number > of titles are not guaranteed, maybe 4, maybe 3, etc. There must be some underlying way of choosing which order you want them in? What is it? > What I wanted to do is to create a node set with the particular > order and then I can process elements just by using <xsl:for-each>, > is that possible in XSL? Not really (although you could feasibly create a result tree fragment variable and then iterate over that with xsl:for-each having turned it into a node set with an extension function). If you apply templates to the nodes you want in order, as outlined above, then you can have a template that matches any of them and that contains whatever you want to put in the body of the xsl:for-each: <xsl:template match="title1 | title2 | title3 | title4"> ... body of the xsl:for-each ... </xsl:template> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
