Hi Jon,

so this should look something like:
<xsl:sort select="translate('JGe','SXx',grade)"/>

That looks right to me. (My plea is having had to teach this afternoon -- XSLT! :-)


Of course, for a more flexible sort I would try Jirka's suggestion.

Yes -- I hope the OP saw that. It's the canonical "correct" answer, I believe, if you want something general and extensible.


Hopefulliy I'm not missing something obvious

As always (I mean hopefully as always, not missing something obvious as always :-).


Cheers,
Wendell
