[xsl] Re: unable to dynamically set sort order
Subject: [xsl] Re: unable to dynamically set sort order From: Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 21:37:28 -0700 (PDT) |
This must be a FAQ!: All attributes of xsl:sort with the exception of "select" can be specified as AVT-s. The "select" attribute can be any XPath expression. Certainly, an attempt to put an XPath expression in a variable and pass this variable as the (complete) value of the "select: attribute -- this will fail for xsl: sort as in any such attempt in XSLT, because XPath expressions are not evaluated dynamically. However, if you need to specify the name of a child element, then you can use an expression like this: *[name()=$sortColumn] Therefore, one possible way to achieve your wanted results is: <xsl:sort order="{$order}" select="*[name()=$sortColumn]"/> Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. bharat chintapally wrote: Hello All: I am trying to dynamically set sort order and sort column in my XSLT. It seems that I can not use an expression for "order". <xsl:apply-templates select="Uow"> <xsl:sort select="$sortColumn" order="$sortOrder"/> <xsl:with-param name="from" select="$startRow"/> <xsl:with-param name="to" select="$endRow"/> </xsl:apply-templates> ** $sortColumn and $sortOrder are variables here Is there any other way I can solve this issue? The reason I need to do this is to keep track of users preference between requests when they are sorting.. Any ideas or help is really appreciated..
