Make your first (primary) sort key be a boolean value - false if this is the
DictionaryModelDescriptor node, true if it is not.
In XSLT 2.0 if <xsl:sort select="..."> returns a boolean, it will sort false
before true. XSLT 1.0 will convert the boolean to a string - so "false"
still comes before "true".

Subject: [xsl] sorting (again)
Hi, one more sorting question.
Given the XML pasted below...I'm using the following
transform to sort it canonically. However, I need the
"DictionaryModelDescriptor" node to always be the first node,
and then the rest are sorted canonically.
I tried this, but it does not do what I want.
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()">
<xsl:sort
select="DictionaryModelDescriptor"/>
<xsl:sort select="@typeName"/>
<xsl:sort select="name(.)"/>
<xsl:sort />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
This one puts it at the top, but now I have a duplicate in the middle
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="DictionaryModelDescriptor"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()">
<xsl:sort select="@typeName"/>
<xsl:sort select="name(.)"/>
<xsl:sort />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
How can I "move" the DictionaryModelDescriptor node to the
top after sorting?
Thanks in advance,
Davis
