Subject: Re[2]: [xsl] [XSL] How to order numeric data containing comm From: Steven.C.Kienle@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 8 May 2001 07:52:17 -0400 |
If, on the other hand, you are using commas as "thousand" separators, you can use transform this way: <xsl:sort select="translate(., ',', '0')" data-type="number"/> This will change "1,000" to "10000". While this doesn't maintain the numerical value, it will "inflate" the values equally. I.E. 1,001 > 1,000 therefore 10001 > 10000. This will not work if the comma is being used for the decimal separator; so it is important to understand the data you are receiving before trying to solve the problem.

In XSLT 1.0, numbers cannot contain commas. There are facilities for formatting numbers with commas (either as a decimal point or as a grouping character) on output, but none for parsing such numbers as input. If you're using the comma as a decimal point, you could use translate() to convert it to a full stop / period.
