RE: [xsl] fixed position

Ther will be always data "Solution" which has to be displayed in the 4th
position. That's the requirement. First I was thinking using variables but
it did not quite work well. I am thinking now to filter out "solution" first
and use a case statement where in the the loop when the position is 4, it
should write the "solution". I don't know if I am on the right track though.

The question is somewhat confusing. Are you putting out only text found
inside an item element? If so are you imposing a particular order on all
of the output? Are you only concerned with the ordering of "Solution"
and nothing else? What if no "Solution" appears in the input? What if
there are only three items, and "Solution" cannot be the fourth since
there are not four?
