    Conditional xsl:sort

    What I'm trying to accomplish

    <var name="sortOrder" />

    <xsl:for-each>

        <choose>

            <when $sortOrder = 'something'>

                <xsl:sort select=$sortOrder />

            </when>

            <otherwise>

                <xsl:sort select='defaultVal' />

            </otherwise>

        </choose>

    </xsl:foreach>

     

    Sorry I've no idea on how to format code in this forum.. :/

    In the old CWS package from Warren, he build something like this

    <xsl:variable name="SortOrder" select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'SortOrder']" /> 
    <xsl:variable name="SortBy" select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'SortBy']" />

    Then he did some magic to determine the datatype

    <!-- We need to set data-type to number or text depending on what sortby equals -->
    <xsl:variable name="DataType"> 
    <xsl:choose> 
    <xsl:when test="$SortBy='sortOrder'"> 
    <xsl:value-of select="'number'" /> 
    </xsl:when> 
    <xsl:otherwise> 
    <xsl:value-of select="'text'" /> 
    </xsl:otherwise> 
    </xsl:choose> 
    </xsl:variable>
    And finally the FOr each with conditional sort
     
    <xsl:for-each>
     <xsl:sort select="@*[name() = $SortBy]" order="{$SortOrder}" data-type="{$DataType}"/>
    </ssl:for-each>

    Hope this helps you,

    Richard

    Hello Chad to format code use the style dropdown box in the editor (where is says paragraph by deafult - hilight code and change to code)

    <xsl:variable name="sortOrderQuerystring" select="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('sortOrder')"/>

    <xsl:variable name="sortOrder">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$sortOrderQuerystring = 'asc'">
          <xsl:text>ascending</xsl:text>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:text>descending</xsl:text>
       </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:for-each select="you XPATH here">
      <xsl:sort select="@nodeName" order="$sortOrder"/>
      
      <!-- Your for each loop here -->
    </xsl:for each>

    Still not having much luck here..

    <xsl:sort select="@*[name() = $SortBy]" />

    This is basically what im after, I want to sort by @nodeName by default, but if there's a querystring present, then I want it to sort by:

    <xsl:sort select="./data [@alias = 'colourCode']" />

    Having:

    <xsl:sort select="@*[name() = 'colourCode]"

    For instance... no dice :/

    except im getting my data from SQL database with an XSLT extension ... and i need to sort it by querystring parameter .. :-/ ..

     

    thinking it might be smarter to sort it in the SQL query ...?
