Re: XSL month sorting (chronologically)

Hi Jeni,
I made the change you suggested. I use the xalan processor(xalan.jar, 
crimson.jar). It gives an exception like below. "date" is an xml element and 
so i think it does not require the quotes.

file:/F:/Ctrack/XSLDateSortExample/TestEx/kay.xsl; Line 34; Column -1; 
Exception in thread "main" 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Expected ,, but found:
.....


The xsl script modified is

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
  <HEAD>
   <TITLE>
    <xsl:for-each select="eventlog">
    </xsl:for-each>
	MURALI'S MAGIC
   </TITLE>
  </HEAD>

<BODY>

<H3 ALIGN="CENTRE">
   	    EventLog Information
</H3>

   <xsl:for-each select="eventlog">
   <TABLE  border="1">

     <THEAD>
       <TR>
        <TH>Date</TH>
        <TH>Data</TH>
       </TR>
     </THEAD>

     <TBODY>

     <xsl:for-each select="event">
        <xsl:sort select="substring(date, 8, 4)" data-type="number" />
        <xsl:sort 
select="string-length(substring-before('JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec', 
substring(date,4,3))"  data-type="number" />
        <xsl:sort select="substring(date, 1, 2)" data-type="number" />

        <TR>
           <TD><xsl:value-of select="date"/></TD>
	   <TD><xsl:value-of select="data"/></TD>
        </TR>


     </xsl:for-each>

     </TBODY>

   </TABLE>

     </xsl:for-each>


</BODY>

</HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks,
Murali.
