Hi Jon,

At 01:18 PM 4/13/2005, you wrote:

I don't really have time to whip up a test case, but shouldn't J->S,
G->X, and e->x work..ie
Frxshman

so this should look something like:
<xsl:sort select="translate('JGe','SXx',grade)"/>

That looks right to me. (My plea is having had to teach this afternoon -- XSLT! :-)

Of course, for a more flexible sort I would try Jirka's suggestion.

Yes -- I hope the OP saw that. It's the canonical "correct" answer, I believe, if you want something general and extensible.

Hopefulliy I'm not missing something obvious

As always (I mean hopefully as always, not missing something obvious as always :-).

Cheers,
Wendell
