Re: [xsl] XSL month sorting

Hi Murali,

> I want to sort on the date(with the month field in letters).

The month is always the 4th to 7th character of the date. So you can
get hold of the month using the substring() function:

  substring(date, 4, 3)

So to sort on the month, alphabetically, you can use:

  <xsl:for-each select="event">
    <xsl:Sort select="substring(date, 4, 3)" />
    <xsl:sort select="substring(date, 1, 2)" data-type="number" />
    <xsl:value-of select="date" />
    <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="data" />
  </xsl:for-each>
  
Cheers,

Jeni
