Re: [xsl] <xsl:sort>

[George Cristian Bina <george@xxxxxxx>]

XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document>
    <header/>
    <paragraph/>
    <subheader/>
    <paragraph/>
    <product>
        <partname/>
        <category>3</category>
    </product>
    <product>
        <partname/>
        <category>1</category>
    </product>
    <product>
        <partname/>
        <category>2</category>
    </product>
</document>

XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0">
    <xsl:template match="document">
        <xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
            <!-- whatever processing you want to do -->
        </xsl:for-each>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="product">
            <xsl:sort select="category" data-type="number" 
order="descending"/>
        </xsl:apply-templates>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

All the XSLT transformers I tried (Saxon6.5.3, Saxon 8.4, Xalan 2.5.1, 
MSXML .NET, 4.0, 3.0 and XSLTProc) gave me:
3
2
1

Best Regards,
George
