Its taking the result as a Strint and not a number I
guess and thats the problem.
Thanks

I'm getting some weird behavior, and I've tried
using three different XSLT
processors, all of which do the same thing; so it
must be me
misunderstanding XSLT.
Basically, I have a list of elements in the input
document, and I'm trying
to reverse their order in the output document.
Input:
<bar>
<baz>1</baz>
<baz>2</baz>
<baz>3</baz>
<baz>4</baz>
<baz>5</baz>
<baz>6</baz>
<baz>7</baz>
<baz>8</baz>
<baz>9</baz>
<baz>10</baz>
<baz>11</baz>
<baz>12</baz>
</bar>
XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<bar>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/bar/baz">
<xsl:sort select="position()"
order="descending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</bar>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="baz">
<baz><xsl:apply-templates/></baz>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output:
<bar>
<baz>9</baz>
<baz>8</baz>
<baz>7</baz>
<baz>6</baz>
<baz>5</baz>
<baz>4</baz>
<baz>3</baz>
<baz>2</baz>
<baz>12</baz>
<baz>11</baz>
<baz>10</baz>
<baz>1</baz>
</bar>
So I'd expect the output to be 12, 11, 10, 9, 8...
But it's out of order.
If I have only 9 elements, they are output in order;
it's when I add the
tenth that this misordering starts. All processors I
tried (Sablotron,
xsltproc, and Xalan) produced exactly the same
output.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks very much,
Jessica
