hello again,
I've got a little problem that I've just spotted, and hoped you might help
with?
I need to order my results in date order, except the date data is in an odd
format.
<RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse>
<Result>0</Result>
<NoOfItems>10</NoOfItems>
<Items>
<Item id="1">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="2">
<Date>07071999</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="3">
<Date>22121999</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="4">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="5">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="6">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="7">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="8">
<Date>17042000</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="9">
<Date>11011999</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="10">
<Date>10071998</Date>
</Item>
</Items>
</RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse>
So is it at all possible for me to sort these results into descending date
order?
Not to actually convert the XML, but to read from the XML in this order.
<RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse>
<Result>0</Result>
<NoOfItems>10</NoOfItems>
<Items>
<Item id="8">
<Date>17042000</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="3">
<Date>22121999</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="2">
<Date>07071999</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="9">
<Date>11011999</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="1">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="4">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="5">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="6">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="7">
<Date>02111998</Date>
</Item>
<Item id="10">
<Date>10071998</Date>
</Item>
</Items>
</RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse>
Thanks if you know,
Daniel.
