Jeff,
Make sure that when you sort you specify the data-type
<xsl:sort select="@page" data-type="number"/>
or the 18 will come after the 1 and before the 2.

Hi all... just joined this list. Greetings :)
I was wondering if someone might have an answer for me on this...
Here's sample XML:
<quiz>
<question id="1" page="4"/>
<question id="2" page="6"/>
<question id="3" page="1"/>
<question id="4" page="18"/>
<question id="5" page="7"/>
<question id="6" page="5"/>
</quiz>
In my XSLT, I want to sort by page. So I have:
<xsl:for-each select="question">
<xsl:sort select="@page"/>
Now - as I am doing things to each question during the for-each, I want to
be able to access the "id" attribute in the question outputted JUST PRIOR to
the one currently being outputted. I can't seem to be able to do this. I've
tried using position() and <xsl:number> and combinations of the two, and
have been unsuccessful. Could anyone give me some advice?
Thanks,
Jeff
