RE: Strange Sort...

["Spychalski, Frank" <frank dot spychalski at sap dot com>]

Hello,

I think the easiest way is chaining 2 XSLTs, the first copiest the y values
from children to attributes and the second XSLT sorts the results. 

But I'm curious if one of the xslt-gurus will come up with a solution that
works with one xslt.

->
->Hello,
->
->I have the following XML hierarchy:
->
-><bucket>
->	<object id="first" x="35" y="10" />
->	<object id="second" x="15" y="58" />
->	<subbucket>
->		<object>
->			<id>third</id>
->			<x>28</x>
->			<y>145</y>
->		</object>
->	</subbucket>
->	<object id="fourth" x="65" y="27" />
-></bucket>

->Ok, enough with the funny looks.  I know that the use of id, 
->x, and y should be consistent as either children or an 
->attribute.  ; ).  But, this is what I'm dealing with now, 
->until I can get it changed.
->
->I'd like to be able to sort all four objects based on the 
->value of their "y"s, regardless of whether they are a child 
->or an attribute.  Is that possible?  Doing two sorts, with 
->one being the major and the other the minor will not work.  I 
->think it has to be in one xsl:sort.
->
->Any help is greatly appreciated.

->Thanks,
