Subject: preceding-sibling on sorted nodes From: Mark Hayes <mark@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 3 Nov 1999 14:59:30 -0800 |
When sorting using XT the preceding-sibling axis seems to operate on the nodes in source tree order not in sorted order. Is this correct behavior? I couldn't tell from the spec. I'm not sure how to workaround this, since I'm trying to do grouping after sorting and using preceding-sibling is the only way I know of to do grouping. If there are prior threads on this issue please say so, I could find anything in the last few weeks. thanks! mark --------------------- test source: --------------------- <test> <item name='a'/> <item name='b'/> <item name='c'/> <item name='a'/> <item name='b'/> <item name='c'/> </test> --------------------- test output: --------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <test> <item name="a" preceding-sibling=""/> <item name="a" preceding-sibling="c"/> <item name="b" preceding-sibling="a"/> <item name="b" preceding-sibling="a"/> <item name="c" preceding-sibling="b"/> <item name="c" preceding-sibling="b"/> </test> --------------------- test stylesheet: --------------------- <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' version='1.0'> <xsl:output indent='yes'/> <xsl:template match='/'> <test> <xsl:apply-templates/> </test> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match='test'> <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select='@name'/> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match='item'> <item name='{@name}' preceding-sibling='{preceding-sibling::item[1]/@name}'/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
