Re: [xsl] Combine two diff xmls - Sorting by date

We are using xslt processor of vignette portal. I
think it supports node-set function as I
am seeing the use of this function in other xsl files.

There are two xml files (File1.xml and File2.ml)

There is already a complicated xsl build on File2.xml.
 So I don't want to change File2.xml.

If I understand correctly, you are suggesting to do: 
Step1: change File1.xml into File2.xml format. Let's
say it is File3.xml
Step2: combine both the xmls --> 

> From xsl of File2.xml:
         <xsl:apply-templates select="* |
document('File3.xml')/*"/>  ==> IS THIS CORRECT?
Step3: Now File2Xsl contains File2.xml and File3.xml

Step4: But when I process combined XML, each XML is
getting processed as two files. I
am not seeing one x


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ===> file2.xml
<Annoucements>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-03-11</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title1</anc_title>
    </announcement>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-07-14</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title2</anc_title>
    </announcement> 
</Annoucements>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ===> file3.xml
<Annoucements>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-04-11</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title3</anc_title>
    </announcement>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-08-14</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title4</anc_title>
    </announcement> 
</Annoucements>

How do I see them as:

<Annoucements>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-03-11</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title1</anc_title>
    </announcement>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-07-14</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title2</anc_title>
    </announcement> 
    
    
    <announcement>      ====> NEWLY ADDED FROM File3.xml
        <anc_date>2008-04-11</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title3</anc_title>
    </announcement>
    <announcement>
        <anc_date>2008-08-14</anc_date>
        <anc_title>Annoucement Title4</anc_title>
    </announcement>     
    
</Annoucements>

If I can see like the above xml, then I can do sorting
and other transformations on the whole
(File1+File2.xmls) together.
