Subject: Complex Sorting From: Geoff Nolan <gjn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 13:55:19 +1100 |
Dear XSL-ers, In our experience sorting in the output document often varies from lexical (or numerical) default according to the needs of the document in question. For example, a list of names (of people or companies) may choose to sort (say) "La Provence" and "31 Flavors" as though they were spelt "Laprovence" and "Thirtyoneflavors" respectively. Clearly it is beyond the power of XSL syntax to express such sort algorithms directly. My question is, is there an extension mechanism whereby the appropriate functionality can be imported from (say) ECMAscript or Perl without having to pre- or post-process the data outside the control of the stylesheet?
