sorting in <xsl:apply-templates>

2003-12-10 11:13:38
hello all,
Coming to the realization I don't understand <xsl:apply-templates> at
all.

here's my xml:
<chapters>
        <chapter title="Pop Music" seq="1" pages="1-20"
uri="0-534-59368-7_09"/>        <chapter title="Regarding 'The White
Visitation'" seq="2" pages="21-31" uri="0-534-82354-7_15"/>
        <chapter title="Picking Your Fights Carefully" seq="4"
pages="76-93" uri="0-843-71963-7_03"/>
        <chapter title="Philosophy and Religion" seq="3" pages="32-75"
uri="0-984-59754-7_02"/>
        <chapter title="Publishing Issues" seq="5" pages="94-104"
uri="0-534-59368-7_13"/>
        <chapter title="Harvesting Honey for Profit" seq="6"
pages="105-183" uri="0-454-99999-7_19"/>
</chapters>

here's the snippets of my xsl that are problematic:

                <assemblePDF>
                        <xsl:apply-templates mode="assemble">
                                <xsl:sort data-type="number"
select="@seq"/>
                        </xsl:apply-templates>
                </assemblePDF>

        <xsl:template match="//chapter" mode="assemble">
                <document source="{(_at_)uri}" bookmark="{(_at_)title}"/>
        </xsl:template>

Now it's my understanding that this should bring back a nodelist and
that within the 'apply-templates' I should be able to sort that
nodelist. However no sorting is happening, I've gone through some
diffrent variations on this with no success. Am I looking at this way
too simply? Thanks.
