Can anyone tell why the code below will not work?
<xsl:sort select="data" data-type="number"/>
I am trying to sort numeric data that contains negative
values but the order seems to be wrong
<xml>
<data>22</data>
<data>2</data>
<data>-5</data>
<data>42</data>
<data>0</data>
<data>-1</data>
<data>0</data>
</xml>
If data selects anything, then it will select 7 child elements of <xml>, and
a sort key consisting of a sequence of 7 elements is unlikely to be useful.
Chances are you want
<xsl:for-each select="data">
<xsl:sort select="." data-type="number"/>
Incidentally, element names beginning with "xml" are reserved for future
standardization, therefore best avoided.
