RE: [xsl] Nested xsl:sort problems

["Fred Wells" <Fred.Wells@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That was the exact problem I sent myself down the wrong path try to deal
with the entry element. It is a bit repetitive, but that's for another
day.
thanks.


I believe the problem was that you were off by one level when doing
your sorts. Here is a cut down version of the XSL...

    <!-- Sorted primary elements -->
    <xsl:for-each select="/indices/index/entry/primary">
        <xsl:sort data-type="text" select="@name"/>
        <block><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></block>
        <!-- Sorted secondary elements -->
        <xsl:for-each select="secondary">
            <xsl:sort data-type="text" select="@name"/> 
            <block><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></block>
            <!-- Sorted tertiary elements -->
            <xsl:for-each select="tertiary">
                <xsl:sort data-type="text" select="@name"/> 
                <block><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></block>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each>

This is repetitive, and could probably be replaced with something
recursive...

Does this solve your problem?
