Re: [xsl] Combine two diff xmls - Sorting by date

[sudheshna iyer <sudheshnaiyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

As an extension to the below one, I need to combine
feeds from two diff sources and sort on date though
the feeds have diff elements:

File1.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0"
  xmlns:aaa="http://www.aaa.org/bbb/aaa_Spec/";>
  <channel>
    <title>Title1</title>
    <link>link1</link>
    <description>Description 1</description>
    <language>en-us</language>
    <item>
      <title>item 1</title>
      <description>item desc 1</description>
      <SortDate>Wed, 18 Feb 2008 11:18:41
-0000</SortDate>
      <link>item link1</link>
      <guid>item guid1 </guid>
      <aaa:modelDate>Sat, 15 Mar 2008 12:18:41
-0000</aaa:modelDate>
    </item>
    
    <item>
      <title>item 2</title>
      <description>item desc 2</description>
      <SortDate>Wed, 19 Feb 2008 11:18:41
-0000</SortDate>
      <link>item link1</link>
      <guid>item guid1 </guid>
      <aaa:modelDate>Sat, 16 Mar 2008 12:18:41
-0000</aaa:modelDate>
    </item>    
  </channel>
</rss>

File2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Annoucements>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-03-11</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title1</anc_title>
    </announcement>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-07-14</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title2</anc_title>
    </announcement> 
</Annoucements>

I should be able to combine File12.xml and File2.xml,
sort them by date in desc order and display the 
output in the following format.


Output format:

Annoucement Title2
14 Jul 2008

Annoucement Title1
11 Mar 2008

item 1  
19 Feb 2008

item 2  
18 Feb 2008

How can achieve this?
