Dear Nicole,
At 01:39 PM 5/10/2006, you wrote:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//Document/Report">
<xsl:sort order='ascending'
select='@base'/>
<xsl:sort order='descending'
select='../@CREATIONTIME'/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
In XSL 1.0 you can't de-duplicate within the results of your sort,
but you can de-duplicate before sorting, which has the same effect:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//Document/Report[ deduplication logic
goes here ]">
<xsl:sort ... </xsl:apply-templates>
inside the predicate (the bracketed expression, used as a "filter
expression"), place the same test as you are currently using in the
template to de-duplicate.
As you can imagine, when things get very complex you may not want to
do it this way, at which point you will want to consider whether to
try to handle it entirely in 1.0 (not built for the job, but
solutions have been developed), or in 2.0 (which is built for the job
and much better at this sort of thing generally).
I hope that helps,
Wendell
