Subject: Re: [xsl] Sorting a TEI list of biblFull with the date as descendant of the author element From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 10:49:48 -0400 |
Chiara, On the surface, this sounds like a bug, which should be reported to the vendor of your processor. But I have not looked at the specification for sorting, and maybe the bug is there. :-) Cheers, Wendell On Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 7:40 PM, <chiara@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks, > now my sorting works. Just a short question. I managed to do the sorting in the root element. I have dates that are B.C. and A.D. and rightly I obtain the B.C. first and then the A.D. The B.C. are from the earliest to the oldest, and this is wrong. Should I do something in order that <date when=b -0004-03b >4-3 B.C.</date> comes before <date when=b -0003b >3 B.C.</date>? > Thanks again. > Chiara Salvagni > > Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2014 10:26:13 -0400 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: [xsl] Sorting a TEI list of biblFull with the date as descendant > of the author element > Message-ID: <CAAO_-xxrthcVXHXxzuXdJNAj3yWZeuyFLiERGkUNA0BWqZY+qw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Chiara, > > As I understand it, your question, "do I need to sort, the biblFull or > the titleStmt?", is one we can't answer.
