Subject: Re: Sorting and re-ordering down a hierarchy

Hi,

I did not see any response on this (except for one who said he used Perl instead), so I tried myself. The templates below, I thought would do what was wanted, but I only get it to sort on the 1st level, not on the second level. I do not know why.

Does anybody else have a solution, and can anyone tell me why my solution does not work?

Regards,
Ragulf Pickaxe :)


<xsl:template match="/">
	<output>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="input"/>
	</output>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="input">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
		<xsl:sort select="node/rank" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
	</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node">
	<node>
	<xsl:copy-of select="rank"/>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
	<xsl:sort select="node/rank" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
	</xsl:apply-templates>
	</node>
</xsl:template>

<input>
<node>
    <rank>2</rank>
    <node>
        <rank>88</rank>
    </node>
    <node>
        <rank>7</rank>
    </node>
    <node>
        <rank>66</rank>
    </node>
</node>
<node>
    <rank>1</rank>
    <node>
        <rank>3</rank>
    </node>
    <node>
        <rank>2</rank>
    </node>
    <node>
        <rank>1</rank>
    </node>
</node>
</input>


The output I get on this is:
<output>
 <node>
   <rank>1</rank>
   <node>
     <rank>3</rank>
   </node>
   <node>
     <rank>2</rank>
   </node>
   <node>
     <rank>1</rank>
   </node>
   </node>
   <node>
     <rank>2</rank>
   <node>
     <rank>88</rank>
   </node>
   <node>
     <rank>7</rank>
   </node>
   <node>
     <rank>66</rank>
   </node>
 </node>
</output>
