Hi,


I knew that the type declaration was possible using schema
but I thought that there was no tool which manage schema.

I was wrong ?

You can define the data type of elements and attributes within a
schema but not, as far as I know, by using XDR within an instance XML
document.

But to answer the XSLT question, you can declare that a sort should be
based on a numeric value rather than alphabetic, you can use the
data-type attribute on xsl:sort:

  <xsl:sort select="@orderqty" data-type="number" />
  <xsl:sort select="@price" data-type="number" />

I hope that helps,

Jeni
