RE: Xpath and for-each looping

First, how to sort? I used an old database trick.  The sort key is a
unique combination of month, day, and year like this -

key = day + 50 * month + (2000 + year)


Tom, how would this key differentiate between 5th may 2003 (05-05-2003) and 8th of may 2000 (08-05-2000) ? I would get 5 + 250 + 2000 + 03 = 2258 = 8 + 250 + 2000 + 00.

I would imagine something like: key= day + 50 * month + 1000 * year
would do it (did you mean 2000 * year?).
