Subject: [xsl] Sorting network addresses From: Craig W <codecraig@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2005 07:50:52 -0500 |
Hi, Is there a way to extend the sort function provided by XSLT? I am using XALAN. Basically, the elements that I need to sort need a more specific sort than just text or number. well the default sorts are on number or text. But say I want to sort on network addresses, such as 1.2.3.4 ....text and number dont work here, I need my own sorting (like i would do with a Comparator in java).. so if i had 1.2.3.4 170.1.3.3 2.4.3.2 I would want the sort to be like 1.2.3.4 2.4.3.2 170.1.3.3 ...however (number sort wont work) and text sort does 1.2.3.4 170.1.3.3 2.4.3.2 see what i mean? A sample XML may be like ... <networks> <network> <address>1.2.3.4</address> </network> <network> <address>170.1.3.3</address> </network> <network> <address>2.4.3.2</address> </network> </networks> ....after sort i would like... <networks> <network> <address>1.2.3.4</address> </network> <network> <address>2.4.3.2</address> </network> <network> <address>170.1.3.3</address> </network> </networks> Someone suggested a key, but I am not sure how that works or how to make it sort on a network address. Any ideas? Thanks, Craig
