Hi,
Anyone knows how to get the new node position() of a sorted result tree?
Specifically, I have the following XSLT code:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//item">
<xsl:sort data-type="number" order="descending" select="@date" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</font>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="article">
<!-- process only the first 100 -->
<xsl:if test="position() < 100">
......
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
When I call the position() function, it returns the position ID in the original
tree not the position ID in the new sorted tree. How to get the new position in a
sorted tree?
Thanks,
David Li
