RE: [xsl] Sort problem

---

Eyal, this doesn't work. Perhaps I should have been more specific. If I
change the XML to for instance:

<root>
	<page pageID="1">
		<line lineID="1">
			<word wordID="1">a</word>
			<word wordID="2">A</word>
			<word wordID="3">c</word>
		</line>
		<line lineID="2">
			<word wordID="1">A</word>
			<word wordID="2">b</word>
			<word wordID="3">a</word>
		</line>
	</page>
</root>

the result I get is:

a, 1, 1, 1
A, 1, 1, 2
c, 1, 1, 3
A, 1, 2, 1
b, 1, 2, 2
a, 1, 2, 3

which is the order in which the word-elements appear but not in alphabetical
order, whereas I want:

a, 1, 1, 1
A, 1, 1, 2
A, 1, 2, 1
a, 1, 2, 3
b, 1, 2, 2
c, 1, 1, 3

Any other ideas?

original message:
Replace your sort command with these lines:

	<xsl:sort select="pageID" order="ascending"/>
	<xsl:sort select="lineID" order="ascending"/>
	<xsl:sort select="wordID" order="ascending"/>
This allows defining sort priority.
It should work.
Good luck!
Eyal.
