Chris,
Yes, I didn't realize it until just a moment ago. I had an error in the file
that was keeping the template from running as I thought it was. As soon as I
got it running correctly I got the message that the source "number" is a
string. I simply wasn't thinking straight.
Thanks,
Don

I'm sorting a series of chapters based upon the
chapter number. The numbering system is decimal:
3.9.1
3.9.2
3.9.3
and so on.
I'm currently casting the sort key value to
xsd:decimal
<xsl:sort select="xsd:decimal(@number)"
/>
but it's not producing the desired sort order. What am
I missing?
I’m curious: what number did you expect to get from the
string “3.9.11”?
You will need to tokenize the strings and sort by their
components.
