Re: [xsl] sort by attribute text

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

David missed one teeny detail in his fix: matching on "/" and for-each 
select="*" will still select just one element (the document element).

Better match on the document element, or whatever other element contains 
the node set you want to sort.

Cheers,
Wendell
