I'm also learning XSLT and XPath, it definitely needs to be understood from scratch even though I have background knowledge of several other programming languages. XSLT and XPath are quite different but very interesting. I started with these tutorials here, they give a good foundation, but they're terse. http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/ http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/ Practicing on smaller and simpler examples on your own also helps in discovering and understanding it. I'm now reading few books on XSLT2.0 to understand it properly. But if you have any questions big or small don't hesitate to ask here, if they are not already answered. -Cheers Rashmi ----- Original Message ---- From: Max Bronsema <max.bronsema@xxxxxxxxx> To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 20, 2006 6:05:37 PM Subject: Re: [xsl] sort by xsl:if and then sort using templates? Thank you for the guidance Rashmi and David, I seem to not be able to wrap my head around how the XSLT processor works, I will be doing some reading and then getting back at this problem.

Rashmi Rubdi <dev_subscriptions@xxxxxxxxx> to xsl-list show details 12:53 pm (2 hours ago) Which version of XSLT/XPATH? I dont think you can compare dates with > in XPATH1.0 You can't nest xsl:sort inside xsl:if. xsl:if can only be nested under <xsl:apply-templates> and <xsl:for-each> I think if you represent dates in the standard format for example: 2005-05-07T19:30:00 instead of 05/07/2005 you can simply sort dates without having to extract the substrings of year, month and day with reference to the code snippet you have provided. like this: <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select="date"/> </xsl:apply-templates> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
