RE: [xsl] Connecting the Source and Destination fields

["Yaswanth" <yaswanth.mtrx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew, 
Thanks for the reply
But I have some issues ! 

What if I have some ting like this ? 

<connection destination="event.3" source="event.0"/> 
<connection destination="event.1" source="event.2"/> 
<connection destination="event.2" source="event.3"/> 
<connection destination="event.4" source="event.1"/>

By using 

<xsl:sort select="@source"/>

For understanding my input will change to  :

<connection destination="event.3" source="event.0"/> 
<connection destination="event.4" source="event.1"/>
<connection destination="event.1" source="event.2"/> 
<connection destination="event.2" source="event.3"/> 

My output will be 
	event.0 -> event.3 -> event.4 -> event.1 -> event.2


But I am expecting 

	event.0 -> event.3 -> event.2 -> event.1 -> event.4
	

Regards,
Yaswanth

Sort them :

<xsl:sort select="@source"/>
