Hi there,

I'm trying to modify my menu XSLT to sort by a custom field, called SortOrder, which is defined for each textpage. As you can probably see, it's not much adapted from the original. (full listing below)

I'm using

<xsl:sort select="something"/>

as a basis. Sorting by known nodes, such as name, wors well, so I know that the XML is getting sorted OK.

The problem is how to reference the custom node. I've tried (without success):

<xsl:sort select="$currentPage/@SortOrder"/>
<xsl:sort select="$currentPage/SortOrder"/>
<xsl:sort select="currentPage()/@SortOrder"/>
<xsl:sort select="currentPage()/SortOrder"/>
<xsl:sort select="@SortOrder"/>
<xsl:sort select="SortOrder"/>   

I think I'm just missing some syntactically, but I'm not sure what, so any pointers would be much apprechiated.

Thanks for your time,

Tom
