I think regexp would help. While it's been a while since I have had to
deal with chemical elements, and am therefore not sure I completely
understand your requirements, the following stylesheet gives the
expected result:
Thanks, that's exactly the kind of solution I was after, and it sorts the
elements in the full list correctly (at least based on the sample list I've
been given).
The Saxon collation David suggested looks like a very useful tip, but in this
case, it sorted the numbers before the letters, so CH2O appeared after C2Cl4
which wasn't the desired outcome. I dare say it would have worked with some
tweaking, but the regex solution is perfect.
Cheers,
Emma
