<xsl:variable name="poles" select="$prods/@pole" /> <xsl:for-each select="$poles"> <xsl:sort select="@pole" /> <xsl:sort select="@time" data-type="number" /> The variable $poles holds a set of @pole attribute nodes. Your first sort key is looking for the @pole attribute of one of these nodes: but attributes do not have attributes. <xsl:variable name="times" select="$prods[@pole=current()]/@time" /> <xsl:for-each select="$times"> <!-- why isn't this sort working!! --> <xsl:sort select="$times" data-type="number" order="ascending" /> The variable $times holds a set of @time attribute nodes. This time you are calculating the sort key for each of these attributes as the value of $times itself. The value of $times is the same for every node in $times, so this sort is not going to be very effective. You have obviously misunderstood the way xsl:sort works. You need to specify a select expression that computes a sort key for a particular node in the set being sorted. This expression is evaluated with that node as the context node.

It should be in ascending order though. Why doesn't line 51 in the stylesheet sort them in the expected order? Secondly, I need to set the colspan property on the switch types (line 24) and finish types (line 28). But I don't see how I can count the children using the grouping method I'm using here. Any pointers would be appreciated. Craig XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
