Reverse Sort...

[rjonesX]

I just need my xml file to be read backwards by an xsl file... When someone add a news story to the xml file, it is placed at the end of the file. I want that one to be displayed first, and the first in the XML file to be displayed last...


any ideas? im using a simple xsl:for-each select="news"

the entries are not dated...

try something like
-------------------
<xsl:apply-templates select=&quot;something&quot;>
<xsl:sort select=&quot;parent_el/element_to_sort&quot; order=&quot;descending&quot; ... />
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;parent_el&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;element_to_sort&quot; />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:apply-templates>
----------------------


the definition of xsl:sort is
----------------------
<xsl:sort
select = string-expression
lang = { nmtoken }
data-type = { &quot;text&quot; | &quot;number&quot; | qname-but-not-ncname }
order = { &quot;ascending&quot; | &quot;descending&quot; }
case-order = { &quot;upper-first&quot; | &quot;lower-first&quot; } />
