RE: [xsl] Sorting on a transformed string?

["Robert Koberg" <rob@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

can you change the XML? YOu could do it pretty easily if the structure was
something like:

<Member name="System">
   <Member name="Caption">
      <Member name="Insert">

      </Member>
   </Member>
   <Member name="Collections">
      <Member name="ICollection">
         <Member name="Count">

         </Member>
      </Member>
   </Member>
</Member>
