Re: [xsl] Pairing elements according to attributes with XSLT 1

[Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt <STAMMW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As I said have a look at the sorting section of the spec.
You may specify what you want in the select statement of <xsl:sort>.

Simply replace "<xsl:sort/>" (which is <xsl:sort select="."/>) by this:
<xsl:sort select="keyword[@size=$from]"/>


$ xsltproc doit.sort2.xsl k3.xml | tidy -q -xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>.
<MainWordInput
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="entriesResult.xsd" fromSize="small"
toSize="tiny">
  <Entries>
    <first>m-Small</first>
    <second>m-Tiny</second>
  </Entries>
  <Entries>>
    <first>z-Small</first>>
    <second>z-Tiny</second>
  </Entries>
</MainWordInput>

Thanks again Hermann.

The problem is that putting the sort in there, sorts it using the
first keyword, and not the one that is used to search.

For example, if I run the XLS with this parameters:
<xsl:with-param name="from" select="'small'" />
<xsl:with-param name="to" select="'tiny'" />

With this XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE KeywordsInfo [
<!ELEMENT KeywordsInfo (KeywordsEntry+)>
<!ELEMENT KeywordsEntry (keyword+)>
<!ELEMENT keyword (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST keyword size (big|medium|small|tiny) #REQUIRED>
]>
<KeywordsInfo>
 <KeywordsEntry>
  <keyword size="big">a-Big</keyword>
  <keyword size="small">z-Small</keyword>
  <keyword size="tiny">z-Tiny</keyword>
 </KeywordsEntry>
 <KeywordsEntry>
  <keyword size="small">m-Small</keyword>
  <keyword size="tiny">m-Tiny</keyword>
 </KeywordsEntry>
</KeywordsInfo>


It shows z-Small as the first element (and not m-Small), since it's
sorting using "<keyword size="big">a-Big</keyword>", although I'm
searching from 'small' to 'tiny'

Hope it makes sense, thanks,

Andy.
