Re: [xsl] XSLT Problem - Random Order

Hi Saurabh,
  From your problem description, it seems that *there
should not be <xsl:choose & <xsl:when* . In your XSL,
xsl:choose does not have any effect when you are doing
xsl:for-each. If you want to see c3 first or c2 first,
then it seems you should hardcode the order in the
XSL(as I have written in my XSL). I feel you should
also not do <xsl:for-each select="//book"> . I feel
<xsl:for-each select="book"> is better that //book. a
// construct searches the XML to arbitrary depths,
which is inefficient. Also, in my opinion,  a
xsl:for-each is not required for this problem..

Below is the complete XSL --

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
      <table border="1" width="60%" align="center"
cellpadding="0">
	<tr>
	 <td align="center">
	  <xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c3']/title"/>
	 </td>
	 <td align="center">
	   <xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c3']/auth"/>
	 </td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
 	  <td align="center">
	   <xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c1']/title"/>
	  </td>
	  <td align="center">
	    <xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c1']/auth"/>
	  </td>
	</tr>
        <tr>
	  <td align="center">
	   <xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c2']/title"/>
	  </td>
	  <td align="center">
	   <xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c2']/auth"/>
	  </td>
	</tr>
   </table>
 </body>
 </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope I understood the problem correctly.

Regards,
Mukul
