I am still somewhat puzzled by below section of my code. I am trying to sort
all DataRow nodes by up to five columns. Now the output actually looks
unchanged from the input XML, as if the sorting would not have taken place at
all. Is there anything obvious that I am missing? I have studied the online
XSLT FAQ that I have been made aware of yesterday, but none of the sorting
examples have helped me in this particular case.
I have checked all below variables (sortby, sortdatatype etc.) and they do
contain correct values. Could it be that the copy-of instruction actually uses
the original XML tree as opposed to the 'indexed' version of it after the sort?
Any help is appreciated.
