Need help using <xsl:sort/>

[aspdotnetuser]

Hi,

I'm new to using xml and xslt. I'm trying to use xsl:sort to display the @periodname_1 attribute in ascending order but it doesn't work. Can anyone see why?

[red]<xsl:sort select="@periodname_1" order="ascending"/>[/red]

[blue]<td colspan="2">

<xsl:value-of select="@periodname_1"></xsl:value-of>

</td>
</xsl:for-each>[/blue]

I fixed this by changing the xsl sort to use order and data-type.

[red]<xsl:sort select="@periodname_1" order="ascending" data-type="text"/>[/red]
