Hi,
Tempore 11:19:01, die 09/05/2005 AD, hinc in
xsl-list(_at_)lists(_dot_)mulberrytech(_dot_)com scripsit Aravind J
<aravindjp(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com>:
when i tried to sort the data using
<xsl:for-each select="Part">
<xsl:sort data-type="number"
select="descendant-or-self::code/name"/> it is doing e
first level sorting correctly, ie data is sorted in
1,2,5 order (code/name) . but sub parts of <part> 5 ie
5-3 and 5-4 are not getting sorted , similarly for
children of 5-4 also.
Any idea how we can sort sub parts ie (child <Part> )
also in this case .
Somehow, you'd need to extract the last number of the 'n(-n)*' sequence,
One possible solution is to rely on the fact that the sequence is the same as
the previous level + '-n' :
"substring(code/name,string-length(ancestor::Part[1]/code/name) + 1 +
boolean(ancestor::Part))"
e.g. this stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="AAAA|child">
<level>
<xsl:for-each select="Part">
<xsl:sort data-type="number"
select="substring(code/name,string-length(ancestor::Part[1]/code/name)
+1+boolean(ancestor::Part))"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="code/name"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="child"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</level>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Will return this result:
<level>
<name>1</name>
<name>2</name>
<name>5</name>
<level>
<name>5-3</name>
<name>5-4</name>
<level>
<name>abc</name>
<name>def</name>
</level>
</level>
</level>
