Hi,

I'm doing a merge and sort transformation against a number of xml files and using for-each-group to group common structures together:

<!-- $path is the path to the folder that contains the XML files -->
<xsl:variable name="docs" as="node()*" select="collection(concat($path, '?select=*.xml'))"/>
<xsl:variable name="divs" as="node()*" select="$docs//TEI.2/text/body/div"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="$divs" group-by="@id">
<div type="{current-grouping-key()}" id="{current-group()[1]/@id}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()[1]/head"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()/node()" group-by="@id">
<div type="{current-group()[1]/@type}" id="{current-grouping-key()}" n="{current-group()[1]/@n}">
<!-- I want to insert a xsl:sort here so that i can sort the current-group() according to the @n -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()[1]/head"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()/div" group-by="@n">
<div type="{current-group()[1]/@type}" id="{current-group()[1]/@id}" n="{current-grouping-key()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()[1]/head"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="div"/>
</div>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</div>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</div>
</xsl:for-each-group>


currently i'm getting:

<div type="edition_title" id="PLBAT">

I'm trying to use: <xsl:sort select="current-group()[1]/@n"/> after the for-each-group but i cannot get a sorted output.

How can i get a sorted output?
