Hi

I need an xsl that will sort the following:

<combo>
    <option value='565757'>Text 1</option>
    <option value='232368'>Blah blah blah</option>
    <option value='367887'>fqwefwef fewfwef</option>
</combo>

Very simple, I know, but I cant work it out.

thanks

I've tried something like this:

but where does the sort go here?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <combo>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="//option" />
    </combo>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="option">
    <option>
      <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
      <xsl:attribute name="value">
        <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
    </option>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The xsl:sort goes inside the xsl:apply-template element.

Also, the xsl:attribute must come before other content inside the option element.

You don't actually say how you want it sorted. Try

<xsl:template match="combo">
  <xsl:for-each select="option">
     <xsl:sort select="@value" datatype="number"/>
     <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
