I am trying to allow an end user to specify the sort
order of a result set returned from an LDAP query. I
am storing their sort request inside of the XML sent
into the LDAP server and plucking it off in my XSLT to
sort as they desired. However, I am running into a
challenge with my approach using a named template, as
you cannot call a named template inside of
xsl:apply-templates.
XML:
<supplementaryData>
<sort>
<sortField>employer</sortField>
<sortField>lastName</sortField>
<sortPage>search.cfm</sortPage>
</sort>
<display>
<displayField>name</displayField>
<displayField>code</displayField>
<displayField>employer</displayField>
<displayField>room</displayField>
<displayField>phone</displayField>
<displayField>email</displayField>
</display>
</supplementaryData>
XSLT:
<xsl:apply-templates select="searchResult">
<!-- set the sort -->
<!-- cannot do this here!!! How to do it??
<xsl:call-template name="sort" /> -->
</xsl:apply-templates>
<!-- sort -->
<xsl:template name="sort">
<xsl:for-each
select="/searchResults/supplementaryData/sort/sortField">
<xsl:sort select="normalize-space(.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Any ideas on how I can get around this hiccup?
