RE: [xsl] Chris Bayes tutorial: xsl:sort - sorting according to user selection

["Chris Bayes" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tanz,
Not on the client using xml/xsl.
You can on the client using javascript but i haven't seen any good
implementations of this.
You can on the client using databound controls.
You could roundtrip to the server to sort but it is slow. To do it you just
add a <form... and a hidden field <input type="hidden" name="column" then
change the onclick="form.column.value='column';form.submit()"

Ciao Chris
