| I'm learning XML and running trivial examples from a book. However, I
| stumbled on a problem with this XSL code snippet:
|
| <xsl:for-each select="//vendor" >
| <xsl:sort select="vendor_name"/>
| <h2><xsl:value-of select="vendor_name"/></h2>
| </xsl:for-each>
|
| Within the XML doc, there are vendor names that appear in the following
| order in the XML doc:
|
| Conners Chair Company
| Just a Vendor
| Wally's Wonderful World of Furniture
| Crazy Marge's Bed Emporium
| Zu Zu's Pedals
|
| When I process the doc with IE 6.0, the vendor names are output in this
| order:
|
| Wally's Wonderful World of Furniture
| Just a Vendor
| Zu Zu's Pedals
| Conners Chair Company
| Crazy Marge's Bed Emporium
|
| This isn't the expected alphabetical order output. What gives?

Dont know about IE transformations, but with XalanC++ I get the right answer:
RESULT:
<h2>Conners Chair Company</h2>
<h2>Crazy Marge's Bed Emporium</h2>
<h2>Just a Vendor</h2>
<h2>Wally's Wonderful World of Furniture</h2>
<h2>Zu Zu's Pedals</h2>
XML what I used:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<vendors>
<vendor>
<vendor_name>Conners Chair Company</vendor_name>
</vendor>
<vendor>
<vendor_name>Just a Vendor</vendor_name>
</vendor>
<vendor>
<vendor_name>Wally's Wonderful World of Furniture</vendor_name>
</vendor>
<vendor>
<vendor_name>Crazy Marge's Bed Emporium</vendor_name>
</vendor>
<vendor>
<vendor_name>Zu Zu's Pedals</vendor_name>
</vendor>
</vendors>
Transformation file (xslt) is the same as yours.
