Hi,
Is there a way to extend the sort function provided by XSLT? I am
using XALAN. Basically, the elements that I need to sort need a more
specific sort than just text or number.
well the default sorts are on number or text. But say I want to sort
on network addresses, such as 1.2.3.4 ....text and number dont work
here, I need my own sorting (like i would do with a Comparator in
java)..
so if i had
1.2.3.4
170.1.3.3
2.4.3.2
I would want the sort to be like
1.2.3.4
2.4.3.2
170.1.3.3
...however (number sort wont work) and text sort does
1.2.3.4
170.1.3.3
2.4.3.2
see what i mean?
A sample XML may be like
...
<networks>
<network>
<address>1.2.3.4</address>
</network>
<network>
<address>170.1.3.3</address>
</network>
<network>
<address>2.4.3.2</address>
</network>
</networks>
....after sort i would like...
<networks>
<network>
<address>1.2.3.4</address>
</network>
<network>
<address>2.4.3.2</address>
</network>
<network>
<address>170.1.3.3</address>
</network>
</networks>
Someone suggested a key, but I am not sure how that works or how to
make it sort on a network address. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Craig
