[xsl] RE: xsl:sort not sorting (brain freeze suspected)

["Brook Ellingwood" <belling@xxxxxxx>]

Still haven't received my own message back from the list, but wanted to
note that predictably I saw the problem 30 seconds after clicking
"send." It was a silly context error caused by not specifying a select
on apply-templates:

<xsl:apply-templates select="*/Row">

Thanks for putting up with my noise.

I'm pretty sure I'll be sheepish after seeing the answer, but I've got a
sort that won't, and I've been staring at it for an hour without seeing
the problem. The transformation is so simple that I feel like I'm
looking right through the problem. It probably doesn't help that I've
been in meetings for six months, instead of actually doing stuff...

Sample XML:

<Import>
	<Row>
		<intEntryID>114</intEntryID>
		<strStoreName>34 Baileys Crossroads</strStoreName>
		<strComment>TEST</strComment>
		<strFirstDay>01/2/2006</strFirstDay>
		<strOpenTime>1:00</strOpenTime>
		<strCloseTime>7:00</strCloseTime>
		<dateSubmit>10/13/2005</dateSubmit>
		<timeSumbit>4:32:32 PM</timeSumbit>
	</Row>
	<Row>
		<intEntryID>115</intEntryID>
		<strStoreName>11 Seattle</strStoreName>
		<strComment>Optional</strComment>
		<strFirstDay>11/23/2005</strFirstDay>
		<strOpenTime>8:00</strOpenTime>
		<strCloseTime>11:00</strCloseTime>
		<dateSubmit>10/13/2005</dateSubmit>
		<timeSumbit>4:36:24 PM</timeSumbit>
	</Row>
</Import>
