1. What do you mean when you say it "fails" or "doesn't work"? What are the
symptoms?
2. What does the source XML look like?
3. It looks a very strange sort key, what are you trying to achieve?

Subject: [xsl] Using xsl:sort causes transformer to fail
Hi,
I have an xsl:sort expression that doesn't always work all
the time. Not sure why. Here is a segment of my code:
------------------------
xsl:for-each select="$group/ITEM">
<xsl:sort
select="*[name()=$group/ITEM/*[name()=$rowKey]]/@*[name() =
$sortBy]" order="{$sortOrder}" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:if test="*[name()=$group/ITEM/*[name()=$rowKey]]">
<xsl:call-template name="processItem">
<xsl:with-param name="columnNode" select="$columnNode"/>
<xsl:with-param name="dataGroup" select="$group"/>
<xsl:with-param name="rowKey"
select="*[name()=$rowKey]"/>
<xsl:with-param name="repeatName"
select="attribute::SORTNAME"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
----------------------------------
This is the code that is failing:
<xsl:sort
select="*[name()=$group/ITEM/*[name()=$rowKey]]/@*[name() =
$sortBy]" order="{$sortOrder}" data-type="number"/>
if, I remove the following from the xsl:sort,
*[name()=$group/ITEM/*[name()=$rowKey]]/
The xsl transformation works fine. However, I need the code
above for the sort to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
