Subject: Re: [xsl] Problem sorting alphabetically: all uppercase entries come first. From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 15:49:43 GMT |
Oops, sorry wrong example. I said that the upercase first ordering was A B C a b c which is clearly wrong it is A a B b C c so... The issue being what is meant by "uppercase first" in the spec. I think that the only possible reading of the spec is that it specifies an ordering on letters: A a B b C c which you then extend to words by lexicographic ordering : Acc abb Bcc baa It appears though, that xslt systems have implemented the ordering more common in dictionaries where ordering is first done on a case insensitive way and then upper-case first only used to order words that are identical apart from case: abb Acc baa Bcc David -- http://www.dcarlisle.demon.co.uk/matthew ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
