> .//@page[1] > In my head this XPath expression reads "in the current article -> go > through all of the descendants pick out the page attributes -> pick > the first one" beware that // doesn't mean what was in your head, that would be (.//descendants/*/@page)[1] although actually (.//@page)[1] is what you want .//@page[1] is the same as .//@page as the [1] in that case just filters the last step, so filters just the first page attribute on each element but there can never be more than 1. however that isn't your problem, which is I expect <xsl:for-each select="document($path)/*"> if document($path) is loading a single document, then document($path)/* is a single element as an xml document can only hav eone top level element so your for-each is iterating over a sequence of length 1, and sorting a sequence of length 1 doesn't do much. perhaps you want document($path)/*/* here David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
