Subject: [xsl] XSLT Sort and choose last items problem From: "thei" <thei@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 00:04:29 +1000 |
Hello. I am trying to display the last 5 "days" from an XML file, sorted in descending order. Sample XML snippet: <journal> <year> <month date="1"> <day date="1"> <contents/> <day date="2"> ... </month> <month date="2"> <day date="1"> <contents/> <day date="2"> ... </month> ... </year> </journal> I currently use XSLT: (Snippet:) <xsl:for-each select="journal/year/month[last()]"> <xsl:for-each select="day[position()>last()-5]"> <xsl:sort order="descending" select="@date"/> <item> <xsl:call-template name="item-contents"/> </item> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> This does not quite do what I want to do. This is because I am unable to select the last 5 days when they span "month" elements. For example, when the last day in the XML file is 2 Feb, I want to select (in this order) 2 Feb, 1 Feb, 31 Jan, 30 Jan, and 29 Jan. I can't figure out how to select the days from January. I hope I've explained that well enough. Sincerely, Ned Martin http://nedmartin.org/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
