Hi,
I haven't looked at the table formatting, but hopefully this will start
you on your way...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//*[(_at_)task]" mode="sorted-tasks">
<xsl:sort select="@task"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="sorted-tasks">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note that I use match="*" and a mode in the second template to avoid having
to
specify the match pattern (//*[(_at_)task]) in two places which would be a
maintenance
nightmare if the stylesheet were much bigger.
Rgds,
Dan.

Subject: [xsl] :xsl matching/sorting recursively by attribute:
Hello-
I am trying to match all elements with an attribute 'task' recursively
throughout the tree. I got that part working, but I have been unable to
get it 'sorted' how I want.
I want all recursive elements with a 'task' attribute to be sorted by
the value of that attribute, and displayed.
So a simple xml file for this might look like:
<desktop id="desktop">
<lineEdit task="3"/>
<panel id="main">
<panel id="toolbar">
<button task="2">Back</button>
<button task="1">Foward</button>
</panel>
</panel>
</desktop>
So, next is the xsl. This is as close I have been able to get....
Can anyone help solve this one?
Thanks a lot!
-Mac
