Re: [xsl] sorting based on variable and limit the results

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

> is it possible to sort based on xsl:variable? If so, how?
yes but xsl:sort needs to be the first child of for-each.

In xslt2 you can use the content of xsl:sort rather that a select
attribute which allows a wider range of constructs. You didn't say
if you wanted xslt 1 or 2.


But you don't need a variable  you could do

<xsl:key name="p" match="p" use="pp"/>
....


<xsl:for-each select="//s">
  <xsl:sort select="count(key('p',n))"/>
  <tr><td><xsl:value-of select="n"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="count(key('p',n))"/></td></tr>
</xsl:for-each>
