hi,
my xml-file looks like:
 <dataset>
   <metadata>
     <columnInfo name="EMP_NO"/>
     <columnInfo name="PHONE_NO"/>
     etc.
  </metadata>
  <data>
    <row>
       <column name="EMP_NO">112</column>
       <column name="PHONE_NO">06-1123445354</column>
       etc.
   </row>
   <row>
     <column name="PHONE_NO">06-2233535675</column>
     <column name="EMP_NO">334</column>
     etc.
   </row>
   etc.
 </data>
</dataset>

The goal is just to show the data in a table. The problem I have is that the column values don`t always have the same order in the rows. So what I want to do is:
for each row(i):
for each columnInfo(j):
select the column from row i which corresponds to the columninfo j`s name.


I tried several stylesheets, but I don`t seem to get it working.

any suggestions are appreciated.
