>The simplest answer is probably to invoke the "codepoint collation" which collates every character according to its numeric Unicode value. Would that give a different output than this: <xsl:sort select="normalize-space(@name)"/> ? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 12:27 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Sorting values that contain spaces The simplest answer is probably to invoke the "codepoint collation" which collates every character according to its numeric Unicode value.
