That does look easier. So, I now have this: ================== <xsl:for-each select="//menuItem[pageID = $pageID]/descendant-or-self::menuItem"> <xsl:sort select="substring(lastUpdate,1,4)" order="descending" /> <!-- year --> <xsl:sort select="substring(lastUpdate,6,2)" order="descending" /> <!-- month --> <xsl:sort select="substring(lastUpdate,9,2)" order="descending" /> <!-- day --> <xsl:for-each select="menuItem[position() <= $numberOfItemsToList]"> <xsl:call-template name="createItem" /> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> =================== The problem is that my result isn't sorted. I'm a bit confused as to how SORT works. My first select should be selecting all menuItems that are or ar a child of one with a specific pageID. Then, I assume the sort commands sorts that group of selected menuItems. Finally, my second select grabs the first 3 menuItems from that sorted group. But that isn't working, so I'm not quite understanding what's going on there. -Darrel
