A "row" does not have a "row" child. The implication of this is that when a sort takes place, the context from which the sort takes place is different from the context of the template (tbody in this case). at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#sorting The implication is that the apply-templates (or the sort?) changes the context to the first child of the context node? I.e. from tbody to row. The statement "When a template is instantiated by xsl:apply-templates and xsl:for-each, the current node list consists of the complete list of nodes being processed in sorted order." Is this the statement that changes the context, which makes mine fail and Dimitres work? regards DaveP. xml input was <?xml version="1.0" ?> <table > <title>Properties</title> <tgroup cols="3"> <tbody> <row> <entry> <para>A</para> </entry> <entry> <para>content A</para> </entry> <entry /> </row> <row> <entry> <para>X</para> </entry> <entry> <para>content X</para> </entry> - NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
