The simplest answer is probably to invoke the "codepoint collation"
which collates every character according to its numeric Unicode value.
Would that give a different output than this: <xsl:sort
select="normalize-space(@name)"/> ?

You can invoke this using
<xsl:sort
collation="http://www.w3.org/2005/04/xpath-functions/collation/codepoint
"/>

Hi, Mike,
I'm using Saxon 8.4, but I tested it with Xalan-J 2.4.1 and
got the same
result (I guess you and the Xalan folks chose the same implementation
scheme).
Lazy bum that I am, I was hoping for a method that wouldn't
require a Java
extension, but I guess I'll go tinker with Java and see what
I can do.
I've already extended Saxon with my own Java class (to get a list of
filenames from a directory), so it's not a total mystery.
The source code for Saxon must include at least one collation class
already, so I'll start with that and the Java API reference.
Any advice or
samples of collation classes that you might be able to point
to would be
much appreciated, of course.
Thanks.

RE: [xsl] Sorting values that contain spaces
Collating sequences are implementation-defined, so you need
to say which
processor you are using.
XSLT 2.0 and Saxon 8 give you control over the choice of collating
sequence
(though you need to understand the underlying Java mechanisms
pretty well
to
exploit this).

Given input like this (a list of SQL table names):
<tables>
<table name="Claim"/>
<table name="Claim Aggregate Queue"/>
<table name="Claimant"/>
<table name="Claim Association Fact"/>
</tables>
And XSL like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="tables">
<xsl:for-each select="table">
<xsl:sort select="@name"/>
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/><xsl:if test="not(position() =
last())"><xsl:text>, </xsl:text></xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I get this:
Claim, Claim Aggregate Queue, Claimant, Claim Association Fact
I would like to get this:
Claim, Claim Aggregate Queue, Claim Association Fact, Claimant
How can I get that?
I checked the FAQ and various archives of the list, but I
didn't find
anything on target.
Thanks.
