Re: [xsl] hierarchical sorting problem

Hi Andy,
 I feel a logical sorting solution will be --

For 1st requirement
-------------------

<xsl:template match="/">
    <Result>
     <xsl:for-each select="Result/Group">
       <Group MaterialNumber="{@MaterialNumber}"
Team="{@Team}">
        <xsl:for-each select="Product">
         <xsl:sort select="@ActionCode" />
           <Product MaterialNumber="{@MaterialNumber}"
Team="{@Team}" Actioncode="{@ActionCode}">            
       
           </Product>
         </xsl:for-each>
        </Group>	           
     </xsl:for-each>
    </Result>
</xsl:template>

For 2nd requirement
-------------------

<xsl:template match="/">
  <Result>
    <xsl:for-each select="Result/Group">
      <xsl:sort select="@MaterialNumber" />
      <Group MaterialNumber="{@MaterialNumber}"
Team="{@Team}">
       <xsl:for-each select="Product">
         <xsl:sort select="@MaterialNumber" />
         <Product MaterialNumber="{@MaterialNumber}"
Team="{@Team}" ActionCode="{@ActionCode}">
         </Product>
       </xsl:for-each>
     </Group>
   </xsl:for-each>
  </Result>
</xsl:template>

Its not very clear to me, *how you want to output
<Product> tags which are not within <Group>* . Some
such tags, you are outputting at top and some at
bottom(which does not seem to be a natural sorted
output).

The above XSLs are not producing <Product> tags which
are not within <Group> tags. 

I feel, you need to make the _requirement more clear_.

Mukul
