Hello all,
I know this has been said, but I can't find it among those thousands of
questions about sorting.
If I apply a template with a sort, as:
<xsl:apply-templates select="node" mode="getmax">
<xsl:sort select="@num" order="descending" data-type="number"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
will the sorting occur during the select, before the matching template is
called, so I can do:
<xsl:template match="node" mode="getmax">
<!-- I want only the <node> element that has the @num with the highest
numerical value -->
<xsl:if test="position()=1"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
or will the sorting occur after all the nodes have been processed in the
matching template?
I hope that the question is understandable.
