Hi,
   Can anyone tell why the code below will not work?

<xsl:sort select="data" data-type="number"/>

I am trying to sort numeric data that contains negative values but the order
seems to be wrong

<xml>
<data>22</data>
<data>2</data>
<data>-5</data>
<data>42</data>
<data>0</data>
<data>-1</data>
<data>0</data>
</xml>


This is the output


0
-1
0
-5
2
22
42

I want
-5
-1
0
0
2
22
42

There's no error in the code you've shown, so it's likely to be one of these:


- you made an error in the code you haven't shown us
- your real xml doesn't match your example xml
- the processor you're using has a bug
