Hi list,

I'm trying to sort an xml file with a structure similar below:

<root>
    <div>
        <head>Seite 130</head>
        <!-- contents of div -->
    </div>
    <div>
        <head>Seite 132</head>
        <!-- contents of div -->
    </div>
    <div>
        <head>Seite 131</head>
        <!-- contents of div -->
    </div>
    <div>
        <head>130</head>
        <!-- contents of div -->
    </div>
    <div>
        <head>129</head>
        <!-- contents of div -->
    </div>
</root>

I want to sort the div elements according to the head value. But I want to the head the has the string 'Seite' to come before the div the has a head that does not have the said string.

Hi Jeff,

I don't know what the "said string" is, a small example of your wanted output would be nice. But when I guess I think you mean first all "Seite xxx" and then all "xxx", which would be:

<xsl:sort select="head[contains('Seite')]" />
<xsl:sort select="head[not(contains('Seite')" />
