arbitrary sorting (part II)

[Oliver Becker <obecker at informatik dot hu-berlin dot de>]

Hey, after submitting my mail I got an idea - and - it works!! :-))

For those of you who are interested:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:m ="urn:non-null-namespace">

<m:month name="Jan" value="1" />
<m:month name="Feb" value="2" />
<m:month name="Mar" value="3" />
<m:month name="Apr" value="4" />
<m:month name="May" value="5" />
<m:month name="Jun" value="6" />
<m:month name="Jul" value="7" />
<m:month name="Aug" value="8" />
<m:month name="Sep" value="9" />
<m:month name="Oct" value="10" />
<m:month name="Nov" value="11" />
<m:month name="Dec" value="12" />

<xsl:template match="report-list">
   <xsl:apply-templates>
      <xsl:sort select="document('')//m:month[@name=current()/@month]/@value" 
                data-type="number" />
   </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


BTW: My test suite yields:
- XT and LotusXSL/Xalan 1.0.1   ok
- Saxon 5.3.2                   failed  (Mike K., are you listening?)
- Oracle 2.0.2.8                XSLException 
  (XSL-1008: Namespace prefix 'm' used but not declared.)


Best regards,
Oliver
