I would like to sort the xml file based on the attribute
which will be supplied as a parameter.
If I understand correctly, the user give the name of an attribute as
parameter, and this name is used to identify the attribute to use to
sort. For example:
If it is correct, you can look at the following. Be aware this is
not namespace-aware! Depending on your requirements and how you launch
the transformation, you can use a xs:QName instead of a xs:string.
(drkm)[119] ~/xslt/tests$ cat lp.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
version="2.0">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="sort.attribute.name" as="xs:string"
select="'description'"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="reminders">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="reminder">
<xsl:sort select="
@*[local-name() eq $sort.attribute.name]"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
