Subject: Re: [xsl] To simulate SORT inside a xsl:choose condition From: Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx> Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 00:38:52 +0200 |
<xsl:apply-templates select="/People/Person"> <xsl:sort select="@*[name()=$sortMethod]"/> </xsl:apply-templates>
Hi Kumar:
The way I'd do this is to control the sorting outside of your template... e.g.
<People> <Person LastName="Smith" Age="22"/> <Person LastName="Jones" Age="19"/> </People>
<xsl:param name="sortMethod">LastName</xsl:param>
<xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$sortMethod="LastName"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/People/Person"> <xsl:sort select="@LastName"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$sortMethod="Age"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/People/Person"> <xsl:sort select="@Age"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template>
In this way, your template can work regardless of the sorting criteria...
HTH!
Dion

Subject: [xsl] To simulate SORT inside a xsl:choose condition
Hi all ,
I know that the rule to sort should be immediately after <xsl:for-each
I am in a situation where i have to read the criteria to sort from
some some node in the beginning of XML and based on which i need to make a decision to sortBY corresponding
node somewhere down the line....
But as you know the following way doesnt work ...
<xsl:for-each select="somenode"> <xsl:choose> <xsl;when test="$prevnode = 'criteriavalue' "> <xsl:sort order="ascending" select="node_to_be_sorted"/> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
Note: dont worry about syntax check on this ...
Is there a way to sneak around and get this Sorting to work based on some criteria ...Or any other work arounds, suggestions?
thanx in advance - kumar
