Are "root" and "node" the only element names that appear?
If you had /root[1]/a[3] and /root[1]/b[5], how would you want them sorted?
I would expect that Saxon's alphanumeric collation would do quite a good job
of this:
<xsl:perform-sort select="tokenize(unparsed-text('input.txt'), '\n')">
<xsl:sort select="."
collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?alphanumeric=yes"/>
</xsl:perform-sort>

Subject: [xsl] Ranking Random Nodes from Top to Bottom
Hi all,
I got a long list of absolute xpath paths in a flat file, like
/root[1]/node[2]/node[12]/node[1]
/root[1]/node[1]
/root[1]/node[2]/node[12]/node[1]
/root[1]/node[4]/node[12]
/root[1]
Is there an existing function in Saxon or ready-made code to
rank the list of nodes from top to bottom?
Thanks by advance!
