Re: [xsl] Pairing elements according to attributes with XSLT 1

[Andy Kohn <andydev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks again Hermann.

The problem is that putting the sort in there, sorts it using the
first keyword, and not the one that is used to search.

For example, if I run the XLS with this parameters:
<xsl:with-param name="from" select="'small'" />
<xsl:with-param name="to" select="'tiny'" />

With this XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE KeywordsInfo [
<!ELEMENT KeywordsInfo (KeywordsEntry+)>
<!ELEMENT KeywordsEntry (keyword+)>
<!ELEMENT keyword (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST keyword size (big|medium|small|tiny) #REQUIRED>
]>
<KeywordsInfo>
 <KeywordsEntry>
  <keyword size="big">a-Big</keyword>
  <keyword size="small">z-Small</keyword>
  <keyword size="tiny">z-Tiny</keyword>
 </KeywordsEntry>
 <KeywordsEntry>
  <keyword size="small">m-Small</keyword>
  <keyword size="tiny">m-Tiny</keyword>
 </KeywordsEntry>
</KeywordsInfo>


It shows z-Small as the first element (and not m-Small), since it's
sorting using "<keyword size="big">a-Big</keyword>", although I'm
searching from 'small' to 'tiny'

Hope it makes sense, thanks,

Andy.
