Hi Rick,

At 04:47 PM 12/23/2003, you wrote:
If I have a xml file:

<parent>
    <child1>child1</child1>
    <child2>child2</child2>
    <child3>child3</child3>
    <child2>child2</child2>
    <child1>child1</child1>
</parent>

I want to turn it into:

<parent>
    <child1>child1</child1>
    <child2>child2</child2>
    <child2>child2</child2>
    <child3>child3</child3>
    <child1>child1</child1>
</parent>

Following the question in your subject line, not your example (in which the result has two child1 elements not grouped), try


<xsl:template match="parent">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="child1"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="child2"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="child3"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="child1|child2|child3">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
Wendell
