Re: [xsl] xsl:sort for the first child element

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

  What I need is to check that the xsl:sort is only used on the 
  first child element of Bibitem - regardless if it is Author, Editor or 
  Organization


 "(Author[1]/Family | Editor[1]/Family | Organization)[1]"


> XSLT processor is Saxon 7.5.1

Note that Xpath2 is radically different to Xpath 1 (and is not yet a
finalised specification) If you are asking Xpath 2 questions you ought
to highlight that in the subject line, non saxon users may not be aware
that saxon 7 implements the XSLT2 draft rather than the current XSLT
spec.

As it happens the answer above is the same in xpath 1 and xpath 2.

although in xpath 2 you could do

 (((Author|Editor)[1]/Family)|Organization)[1]

if you prefer.

David
