Last () -1

G'day,

I am not quite getting the results I expected and I suspect it is
because I am misreading how position and last works. I want to have a
variable that selects nodes, sorts the nodes and selects the last. If I
assume that the nodes are "numbered"  starting from the last as 
16, 15, 14, 13 ,12 

and I say 'day[position() > last()-5 and position() < last()-1]'
then am I selecting 14, 13 12.?? Maybe there is a better way

Any thoughts

Salud

John



<xsl:variable name="varL52">

<xsl:for-each select="day[position() &gt; last()-3 and position() &lt;
last()-1]">
<xsl:sort select="cl"  order="descending" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:if test="position()=last()"><xsl:value-of select="cl" /></xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:variable>
