Re: [xsl] Date sorting

> Format may be for example: > <date>yyyy-mm-dd</date> > If it is in that format you can just do a string sort (that's one reason why standards prefer yyyy-mm-dd over the more conventional yyyy/mm/dd or the strange yyyy/dd/mm, string sorting gives date order in ISO format. If your "example" is just an example and you have other formats to consider as well then you may need to use substring and concat to get back to that format or use some date parsing extension function. Xpath2 draft has some primitive functionality for working with dates although unfortunately it's based on w3c schema date types so barely usable (and no help at all all unless your date format is as above) David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
