Re: [xsl] xsl:sort question

Hello Priya,

your approach is correct, but incomplete. When you sort for @WellName, 
then the nodes will be selected alphabetically. The second sort will 
only have an effect, if two nodes are equal in the first sort criteria.

What you need:

<xsl:sort select="substring(@WellName,1,1)"/>
<xsl:sort select="substring(@WellName,2)" data-type="number"/>

Regards,

Joerg
