RE: [xsl] Forcing the order of templates in XSLT/XSLFO

["Geert Josten" <geert.josten@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes there are ways to check this. Simplest one is to use
preceding-sibling::image or following-sibling::table.

Alternatively, you could try an approach from the parent element, where
you apply all child element except table first and finish with applying
tables only. Something like:

<xsl:template match="root">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()[not(self::table)]"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="table"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Just an idea..

Kind regards,
Geert
