Looks fine. You're setting it to default to a result tree fragment containing a root node and a text node, but this shouldn't matter when you compare it to the number 1; it will be interpreted like <xsl:if test="number($sort) = 1"> > My second template matches PXML and test for the value of $sort, the param, > and applies the other template and sorts it all by Title. Without seeing your XML, it's hard to say. The way you have it written in the part that' snot commented out, you're saying to go process the child nodes of the PXML element, in order dictated by *their* child elements named Title. It implies that you have <PXML> <something> <!-- the things you are sorting = something --> <Title>foo</Title> </something> <something> <Title>bar</Title> </something> ... </PXML> In the template that matches "/*" (the document element) you are saying to process the child elements, and if you uncomment that xsl:sort, you'll ensure that it's done in order by their child elements named Title. Again, it implies that the nodes you are applying the sort to have child elements named Title. Is this really the case? Also, no need to use choose/when if there's only one condition; use if. Although you might want to keep it there and throw in an xsl:otherwise so you can see if the test is failing. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
