Subject: [xsl] Correctly sorting ID's From: "Niki Dinsey - CSW" <niki.dinsey@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 15:23:33 -0000 |
Hi there list guru's, I have a question. In a transform, is it possible to correctly sort these poorly formed id's listed below Currently my standard sort: <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select="node()/@id"/> </xsl:apply-templates> Returns this: <someNode id="CM09.1"/> <someNode id="CM09.1.5"/> <someNode id="CM09.10"/> <someNode id="CM09.10.10.3"/> <someNode id="CM09.10.15"/> <someNode id="CM09.18.2"/> <someNode id="CM09.2"/> <someNode id="CM09.2.2"/> <someNode id="CM09.22"/> <someNode id="CM09.22.1"/> it's the old classic... 1 then 10 before 2 etc. I really need them sorted like the following: <someNode id="CM09.1"/> <someNode id="CM09.1.5"/> <someNode id="CM09.2"/> <someNode id="CM09.2.2"/> <someNode id="CM09.10"/> <someNode id="CM09.10.10.3"/> <someNode id="CM09.10.15"/> <someNode id="CM09.18.2"/> <someNode id="CM09.22"/> <someNode id="CM09.22.1"/> I'm looking now to see if I can work this out and I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me with the correct sort selection. The only other issue to be aware of is that the dots can go on indefinitely and I don't know until runtime the highest number of dot's in the any one id will be. If anybody could point me to a resource that deals with this I would be most grateful. Regards, Niki Dinsey XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
