Order of nodes in a union
Subject: Order of nodes in a union From: Nick Browne <NickBrowne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 11:59:17 +0100 |
I have a union of two node sets which orders the elements in document order. However, I had expected to see the first set in the union first, followed by the second set, for example : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" > <xsl:template match="/"> <dummy> <xsl:variable name="P" select="//Purchase"/> <xsl:variable name="Q" select="//Quantity"/> <xsl:variable name="values" select="$P | $Q"/> <xsl:for-each select="$values"> <xsl:value-of select="name()"/> </xsl:for-each> </dummy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> with : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <Root> <Range Number="1" Total="15.00"> <Purchase>3.00</Purchase> <Quantity>5</Quantity> </Range> <Range Number="2" Total="17.50"> <Purchase>2.50</Purchase> <Quantity>7</Quantity> </Range> <Range Number="3" Total="13.50"> <Purchase>4.50</Purchase> <Quantity>3</Quantity> </Range> </Root> This displayed : 'PurchaseQuantityPurchaseQuantityPurchaseQuantity' whereas I had expected to see the 3 Purchase elements followed by the 3 Quantity elements. Is this normal behaviour for the union operator, I couldn't see anything in the spec that indicated what ordering should be used ? This was run on Oracle v2.0.2.8. -- Nick Browne Slipstone Ltd XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
