The format of the dates returned in my XML is 17-Dec-2000 07:23:32. I need
to display dates as 12/17/00. I am formatting the dates I display by
calling the following template:
<xsl:template name="dateTemplate">
<xsl:variable name="months"
select="'JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec'"/>
<xsl:variable name="day" select="substring( ., 1, 2 )"/>
<xsl:variable name="earlier_months" select="substring-before( $months,
substring( ., 4, 3 ))"/>
<xsl:variable name="month_number" select="string-length( $earlier_months )
div 3 + 1"/>
<xsl:variable name="month" select="format-number( $month_number, '00' )" />
<xsl:variable name="year" select="substring( ., 10, 2 )"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat( $month, '/', $day, '/', $year )"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
I am displaying the dates in a table. The table can be sorted by the user
by clicking on the column titles. I am able to sort the table for all of
the non-date columns, but do not know how to sort the table by date.
Any suggestions?
Katie
