[xsl] fairly simple position() question

["Kasper Nielsen" <news@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

This should be so simple, however I can't get it working with alot of hassle

basicly what I have is a xml document

  <view>
    <columns>
      <column name="id" />
      <column name="description" />
      <column name="economy_actual" />
      <column name="economy_actual" />
      <column name="economy_actual" />
    </columns>
  </view>

And all I want to get is given a variable $sortby
give me position of the column
$sortby='id' -> 1
$sortby='description' -> 2
$sortby='economy_actual' -> 3 (or 4 or 5 I don't care just don't return
something like '345' as my solution did)



regards
  Kasper Nielsen
