Re: [xsl] Collation for dotted decimal?

[Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Couldn't resist to make David's solution general (not dependent on a
maximum digits in a number estimate) :o)    :


<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="x">
      <xsl:variable name="vPattern">
        <xsl:for-each select="*">
          <xsl:sort select="string-length(.)"/>
            <xsl:if test="position() = 1">
              <xsl:sequence select="translate(.,'123456789.', '000000000')"/>
            </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </xsl:variable>
  <x>
    <xsl:perform-sort select="*">
      <xsl:sort select="string-join(for $i in tokenize(.,'\.') return
                                format-number(number($i),$vPattern),'.')"/>
      </xsl:perform-sort>
  </x>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of
thinking with which we created them.
