Dear colleagues,
I've got a question concerning xsl:sort.
I deal with TEI files and try to process <index> (and other) entries in
order to generate an index. I apply the following <xsl:sort>:
<xsl:sort lang="de"
collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?lang=de;alphanumeric=yes";
select="."/>
Now I face the problem that longer entries are sorted *before* shorter
ones although shorter should mean "more general" and thus it would be
preferable to have them listed first.
e.g.:
- Lübeck, Stadtrat
- Lübeck
Am I doing something wrong? Should I use another collation? Do I have to
deal with the special characters like commas etc?
BTW, I'm using Oxygen 17.1 and Saxon-HE 9.6.0.7.
Curious, best,
Torsten
