More arbitrary sorting
Subject: More arbitrary sorting From: Matthew Bentley <Matthew.bentley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2000 11:44:52 +1200 |
I have some data: <item>MacBean</item> <item>McBarlow</item> <item>Re MacBart</item> <item>Re McBeanie</item> Which needs to be sorted and transformed as follows: <item>McBarlow</item> <item>Re McBart</item> <item>MacBean</item> <item>Re McBeanie</item> In other words, 'Mc' must be equal to 'Mac', and the 'Re' gets placed on the end of the text. I have tried implementing this by generating a result-tree-fragment with an attribute which contains the sortable text (Ie MacBeanie, Re), while keeping the output text the same. The problem with this is that its impossible, once the attribute text is defined, to redefine it, hence how can you do multiple transforms on the same data (To get it from 'Re McBeanie' -> 'McBeanie, Re' -> 'MacBeanie, Re')? This is a 'push' problem Ie I can't redefine the input data.
