I want to sort an xml document by data from an external document. Let me see if
I can explain this: I have list.xml:
<list>
<file>file1.xml</file>
<file>file2.xml</file>
...
<file>file100.xml</file>
<list>
each of the fileX.xml have inside a date tag:
<date>20071015102000</date>(yyyymmddhhmmss). I want to sort the list.xml by the
date in each file. The way I did it:
<xsl:for-each select="file">
<xsl:variable name="filename" select="file"/>
<xsl:sort order="descending" select="document($filename)/date">
File: <xsl:value-of select="."> Date: <xsl:value-of
select="document($filename)/date">
</xsl:for-each>
The document will list the dates but it doesn't sort them.
I also tried <xsl:sort order="descending" data-type="number"
select="document($filename)/date"> but it doesn't work. It sorts the list
alphabetically after the name of file...file1,file2...file100. What am I doing
wrong? 10x
