Hi,
I am trying to group and sort by date in an xslt I am
working on going from xml to html. Specifically, I am
trying to sort by year, month and then day on an
event's start date. It appears that I may need to use
keys and a sorting method to do this. I have looked
through the FAQs and other tutorials, but I am having
trouble grokking it. Can someone lend some help?
Didn't I or someone else here already reply to you about the sorting? Could you
elaborate on exactly what do you have problems with? First declare the key to
be used in the Muechian grouping
<xsl:key name="group" match="xcal:vevent" use="substring-before(xcal:dtstart,
' ')"/>
then group and sort with
…
<!-- process groups -->
<xsl:for-each select="xcal:vevent[generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('group',
substring-before(xcal:dtstart, ' ')))]">
<xsl:sort select="translate(substring-before(xcal:dtstart, ' '), '-', '')"
data-type="number" />
<!-- process group members -->
<xsl:for-each select="key('group', substring-before(xcal:dtstart, ' '))">
…
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
…
