Hi, consider the following example:
<Collection> <CollectionB> <B2></B2> <A2></A2> <A1></A1> <B1 typeName="2"></B1> <B1 typeName="1"></B1> </CollectionB> <CollectionA> <B2></B2> <A2></A2> <A1></A1> <B1></B1> </CollectionA> </Collection>
I want to sort it as such
<Collection> <CollectionA> <A1></A1> <A2></A2> <B1></B1> <B2></B2> </CollectionA> <CollectionB> <A1></A1> <A2></A2> <B1 typeName="1"></B1> <B1 typeName="2"></B1> <B2></B2> </CollectionB> </Collection>
I am trying to come up with a generic XSLT solution that does not use explicit element names, but only uses the sort select="name()", and it should be recursive such that if say, element <A1> contained further elements, then they would also be sorted by element name.
Finally, if the element names are the same, then it should sort them by an attribute called "typeName".
Can anyone provide some help? Thank you in advance!
