Subject: RE: [xsl] How to sort a nodeset returned by key()? From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2008 20:35:04 +0800 |
If you are using XSLT 1.0 then the type system only supports node-sets, not node-sequences, therefore you cannot store a sorted node-sequence in a variable. The approach you outline would be fine for XSLT 2.0, but in 1.0 you'll have to find some other way. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Dolmen !
