Subject: [xsl] Sorting based on string length in an element From: "Karl Koch" <TheRanger@xxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2005 00:14:24 +0200 (MEST) |
Hello XSLT experts, I have the following kind of content: <bookshelf> <book><desc>description AAAA</desc></book> <book><desc>description AA</desc></book> <book><desc>description AAA</desc></book> <book><desc>description A</desc></book> </bookshelf> I am looking for one stylesheet that sorts the booklist in descending order depending on the length of the <desc> element. The result would look like this: <bookshelf> <book><desc>description AAAA</desc></book> <book><desc>description AAA</desc></book> <book><desc>description AA</desc></book> <book><desc>description A</desc></book> </bookshelf> Also I would like to have a slight modification of that which cuts the list at a certain position (e.g. pos = 2) which would give me this result: <bookshelf> <book><desc>description AAAA</desc></book> <book><desc>description AAA</desc></book> </bookshelf> How would this modified stylesheet look like assuming that it should also work properly in case the list is shorter than pos?
