Subject: RE: [xsl] sort order="descending" question From: Jeff Beadle <Jbeadle@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 17:09:35 -0400 |
By default the xsl:sort will treat the datatype of the @select as "text" ... you just need to define yours as "number". The xsl:sort/@data-type attribute has two enumerations: "text" and "number"; This should do the trick: <xsl:sort select="position()" order="descending" data-type="number"/> -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Jessica P. Hekman [mailto:jphekman@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 4:49 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] sort order="descending" question I'm getting some weird behavior, and I've tried using three different XSLT processors, all of which do the same thing; so it must be me misunderstanding XSLT. Basically, I have a list of elements in the input document, and I'm trying to reverse their order in the output document. Input: <bar> <baz>1</baz> <baz>2</baz> <baz>3</baz> <baz>4</baz> <baz>5</baz> <baz>6</baz> <baz>7</baz> <baz>8</baz> <baz>9</baz> <baz>10</baz> <baz>11</baz> <baz>12</baz> </bar> XSL: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <bar> <xsl:apply-templates select="/bar/baz"> <xsl:sort select="position()" order="descending"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </bar> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="baz"> <baz><xsl:apply-templates/></baz> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Output: <bar> <baz>9</baz> <baz>8</baz> <baz>7</baz> <baz>6</baz> <baz>5</baz> <baz>4</baz> <baz>3</baz> <baz>2</baz> <baz>12</baz> <baz>11</baz> <baz>10</baz> <baz>1</baz> </bar> So I'd expect the output to be 12, 11, 10, 9, 8... But it's out of order. If I have only 9 elements, they are output in order; it's when I add the tenth that this misordering starts. All processors I tried (Sablotron, xsltproc, and Xalan) produced exactly the same output. Does anyone know what's going on?
