Re: XSL month sorting (chronologically)


Hi,
I tried out Michael's suggestion using string-length. I am getting 
"Whitespace required before attributes" exception. What could be the 
problem.

The sorting is done first on the year, then on the month and then on the 
day.

The xml file I use is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<eventlog>
  <event>
    <date>10 Apr 2002</date>
    <data>Test5</data>
  </event>
  <event>
      <date>14 Apr 2001</date>
      <data>Test1</data>
  </event>
  <event>
      <date>09 Mar 2002</date>
      <data>Test4</data>
  </event>
  <event>
      <date>08 Mar 2003</date>
      <data>Test6</data>
  </event>
  <event>
      <date>01 Jan 2002</date>
      <data>Test2</data>
  </event>
  <event>
      <date>11 Feb 2002</date>
      <data>Test3</data>
  </event>
</eventlog>


The xsl script(which gives a html output) I used is

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
  <HEAD>
   <TITLE>
    <xsl:for-each select="eventlog">
    </xsl:for-each>
	MURALI'S MAGIC
   </TITLE>
  </HEAD>

<BODY>

<H3 ALIGN="CENTRE">
   	    EventLog Information
</H3>

   <xsl:for-each select="eventlog">
   <TABLE  border="1">

     <THEAD>
       <TR>
        <TH>Date</TH>
        <TH>Data</TH>
       </TR>
     </THEAD>

     <TBODY>

     <xsl:for-each select="event">
        <xsl:sort select="substring(date, 8, 4)" data-type="number" />
        <xsl:sort 
select="string-length(substring-before("JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec", 
substring("date",4,3))"  data-type="number" />
        <xsl:sort select="substring(date, 1, 2)" data-type="number" />

        <TR>
           <TD><xsl:value-of select="date"/></TD>
	   <TD><xsl:value-of select="data"/></TD>
        </TR>


     </xsl:for-each>

     </TBODY>

   </TABLE>

     </xsl:for-each>


</BODY>

</HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
