Realized it should be posted in the XSLT section. sorry.
need help to order these names alphabetically

<titltxt>&Omacr;kubo Toshimichi</titltxt>
<titltxt>adam</titltxt>
<titltxt>sam</titltxt>
<titltxt>keven</titltxt>

Michael suggested using this:

<xsl:template match="articles">
  <xsl:for-each select="article">
    <xsl:sort select="title"/>
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>


works fine till I run into referenced entities before the names to be ordered.

thanks
Bill
