RE: [xsl] Sort By Multiple Values?

Hi,
Your sort statement should probably be something like:
  <xsl:sort select="ability/@rank" order="ascending"/>
because the language element does not have a rank attribute.

Subject: Re: [xsl] Sort By Multiple Values?

Hi,

Sorry, I have messed up my previous document in the cut and paste. Here is the 
"correct" document.


I have a document here where I am attempting to sort it using multiple
values. Here is the XML:

 <computer>
           <language>
               <ability rank="1">XML 1.0</ability>
               <type>XML</type>
           </language>
           <language>
               <ability rank="1">XSLT 1.0</ability>
               <type>XML</type>
           </language>
           <language>
               <ability rank="2">XSLT 2.0</ability>
               <type>XML</type>
           </language>
           <language>
               <ability rank="1">HTML 4.01 / XHTML 1.0</ability>
               <type>HTML</type>
           </language>
           <language>
               <ability rank="1">CSS</ability>
               <type>HTML</type>
           </language>
</computer>

The XSL:

  <xsl:template match="computer">
  [<span class="skills">
                       <xsl:apply-templates select="language">
                           <xsl:sort select="@rank" order="ascending"/>
                       </xsl:apply-templates>
                   </span>]
</xsl:template>

The output now is in the same order as it is in the order of the
document w= hen the @rank value is 1, and followed by the one where
@rank=2.

[XML 1.0] [XSLT 1.0] [HTML 4.01/XHTML 1.0] [CSS] [XSLT 2.0].

Is it possible that I can get it to display as

[CSS] [HTML 4.01/XHTML 1.0] [XML 1.0] [XSLT 1.0] [XSLT 2.0]

?

Thanks to those who can help.
