Hi all, This is regarding xsl:order-by. I tried changing to a new stylesheet, but that did not help but gave me more hours of work. I have taken over a project that uses Microsoft WD-xsl language and a lot of xsl:eval's which set a few window varibles using javascript that are used elsewhere (i know that is probably not the best design). i tried using xsl - xslt convertor from microsoft, that did not help and created more confusion. So the conclusion is that at least for this style sheet i have to use the old microsoft xsl language, i.e. use xsl:order-by, which brings be back to my question. Can i sort numbers using order-by like in xsl:sort, we can set data type = number or char or something. surely when order-by came out, someone must have faced what i am facing. any help will be appriciated. Thanks.
