Re: sorting date prob
Hello Jarkko,
you must bring the date to the format yyyymmdd. The best to do this is in
the XML, because the date-formatting is a style-question, so it should be
done in the stylesheet. If this is not possible, you can do it temporarily
in the stylesheet too:
<xsl:sort select="concat(substring(Time,7,2), substring(Time,4,2),
substring(1,2))"/>
Regards,
Joerg
