Re: [xsl] sort elements based on attribute value

[Rick Taylor <taylor@xxxxxxxx>]

This will allow you to process the elem's in numerical order.  I am 
assuming that is what you needed.  Note that if you don't add the data-type 
attribute it will sort by string-value rather than in numerical order.

<xsl:template match="/">
 <root>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//elem">
   <xsl:sort data-type="number" select="@value"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
  </root>
</xsl:template>

<!-- process elem's -->
<xsl:template match="elem">
 <newelem value="{@value}">
 </newelem>
</xsl:template>
