Re: custom xsl sorting

2005-09-07 22:07:44
Hi,

I am not very familiar with XSLT. I tried to reproduce
the same & it didn't work(w/o much understanding).
My Basic assumption is that: 
Key 'tp' should be built on 'period.xml'. Here i have
the core part of the code:
 
      <xsl:key name="tp" match="val" use="."/>
      <xsl:variable name="tps"
select="document('xamp2.xml')/Timeperiods"/>



Inside template match /dynamicpage
      <xsl:for-each select="$tps/*">
      <xsl:sort select="."/>

            <xsl:variable name="outp"
select="key('tp', @period)"/>
            <xsl:value-of select="$outp"/>

      </xsl:for-each>
What does sort do here? Sorts tps values!! or Sorts
/val values?? Neither makes sense to me.

Please correct me!!!

Thanks for your inputs & valuable time.

Srinivas.

Hi,
     The following stylesheet should do what you
want.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="text"></xsl:output>

      <xsl:key name="tp" match="val" use="."/>
      <xsl:variable name="tps"
select="document('xamp2.xml')/Timeperiods"/>

      <xsl:template match="/dynamicpage">

      <xsl:for-each select="$tps/*">
      <xsl:sort select="."/>

            <xsl:variable name="outp"
select="key('tp', @period)"/>
            <xsl:value-of select="$outp"/>

            <xsl:if test="not(position() = last())
and $outp">
            <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
            </xsl:if>

      </xsl:for-each>

  </xsl:template>



</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi,

I have to perform xsl sorting based on time period
instead of regular ascii or integer based sorting.
For
ex: According to ascii, BYZANTINE  comes before
MIDDLE
BRONZE. But, according to this sort(time period):
MIDDLE BRONZE comes before BYZANTINE.

My initial idea is like this. A separate xml:
'period.xml' has this period to ascii mapping.
<entry period="middlebronze">1</entry>
<entry period="byzantine">2</entry>
<entry period="Roman">3</entry>
<entry period="islamic">4</entry>
......
----------------------------------------
Now, my stylesheet should be applied to a dynamic
xml
page & should order period values occur in that
page.

<dynamicpage>
<val>Roman</val>
<val>Islamic</val>
<val> byzantine </val>
</dynamicpage>

desired output after xslt application:

byzantine,  Roman, Islamic

Please help regarding how xslt should look like?
