Hello,
Im can't get the <xsl:sort> tag to work under Unix.
Im trying to reverse sort a list of nodes, before processing
them using the Xalan Java 1 XSLT processor.
The code i have used is detailed below and works when i try
it in DOS, but when i try it on a Unix server, it doesn't work. No errors
are produced, but the order is not reversed. Both processor versions are
identical, and the only thing that is different is the platform.
Ide really appreciate knowing why this is so? Thanks in anticipation.
