Hi,
Thanks for the reply, it make perfect sense. I will try the
following instead which will limit me to a maximum of three
sorts but is probably more than enough in practice.
<xsl:for-each select="$tempRoot/product">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="boolean($sortField)=true">
<xsl:sort select="$sortField/SortField[1]"
order="$sortField/SortField[1]/@Order"
data-type="$sortField/SortField[1]/@DataType"
case-order="$sortField/SortField[1]/@CaseOrder" />
<xsl:sort select="$sortField/SortField[2]"
order="$sortField/SortField[2]/@Order"
data-type="$sortField/SortField[2]/@DataType"
case-order="$sortField/SortField[2]/@CaseOrder" />
<xsl:sort select="$sortField/SortField[3]"
order="$sortField/SortField[3]/@Order"
data-type="$sortField/SortField[3]/@DataType"
case-order="$sortField/SortField[3]/@CaseOrder" />
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
Cheers
Nick

Hi Nick,
As far as I can tell, it is not possible to generate
<xsl:sort> instructions that way, since the <xsl:sort>s in
your example would only apply to your inner for-each loop.
Is a two-pass solution also suitable for you?
best regards,
Roman

Subject: [xsl] Is it possible to create xsl:sort from input
parameters
using XSLT 2.0 (Saxon)?
Hi,
I am trying to create dynamic sorts in my XSLT file so the end user
can select different fields to sort the data on then rerun the XSLT.
The XSLT is called from a vb.net app where the chosen sort
fields are
passed as XML into a param called sortField:
<SortFields>
<SortField DataType="number" CaseOrder="lowercasefirst"
Order="ascending">lenderid</SortField>
<SortField DataType="number" CaseOrder="lowercasefirst"
Order="ascending">generalproductid</SortField>
</SortFields>
Using the following XSL:
<xsl:for-each select="$tempRoot/product">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="boolean($sortField)=true">
<xsl:for-each
select="$sortField/SortFields/SortField">
<xsl:sort select="."
order="@Order"
data-type="@DataType" case-order="@CaseOrder" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
which (in my head at least) would result in something akin too:
<xsl:for-each select="$tempRoot/product">
<xsl:sort select="lenderid" order="ascending"
data-type="number" case-order="lowercasefirst"/>
<xsl:sort select="generalproductid" order="ascending"
data-type="number" case-order="lowercasefirst"/>
</xsl:for-each>
The main input XML document which is being transformed looks like
this:
<root>
<product>
<lenderid>1234</lenderid>
<generalproductid>12344321</genrealproductid>
<lendername>fred</lendername>
...
</product>
<product>
...
</product>
</root>
Having tried doing it I'm now pretty sure that this isn't
possible as
I get a compile error on the xsl:sort order as it is expecting
ascending or descending.
Is there any other way of achieving this?
Cheers
Nick
