Re: [xsl] hierarchical sorting problem

[Mukul Gandhi <mukulgw3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,
  I feel, when you say you want to sort by ActionCode,
tags within ProductGroup (i.e. ChildProduct) are a
seperate group to be sorted, and
<Product> tags just below <Result> form a different
group to be sorted seperately.

I feel, you cannot sort between 
<Product MaterialNumber="494728" Team="ENJ"
ActionCode="C1" />
and ,
<ChildProduct MaterialNumber="376050" Team="RMT"
ActionCode="A1" />

based on ActionCode. 

<Product> and <ChildProduct> belong to two mutually
exclusive sets that have to be sorted seperately.

I believe this is implied by your description. I am
sorry, that I am still not able to understand the
requirement.

Regards,
Mukul
