xsl:sort .::RESOLVED::.

[Ashes]

Hi.

I'm trying to sort a node by an attribute of it's last child.
The way I understand things, the following code SHOULD work, but it only sorts the nodes in the reverse order they were entered, and not by the date & time.

xsl template extract

<xsl:template match="topic" mode="toc">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="subject" mode="toc">
		<xsl:sort select="message[last()]/@dd" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
		<xsl:sort select="message[last()]/@mm" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
		<xsl:sort select="message[last()]/@yyyy" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
		<xsl:sort select="message[last()]/@time" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
	</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

xml file extract

Sorry I don't really know how to explain this any better.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Don't worry, figured it out (seem to be doing a lot of that lately

Just had to split up the time (take out the ":"s)

		<xsl:sort select="substring(@time,1,2)" data-type="number" order="{$sortOrder}"/><!--Hour-->
		<xsl:sort select="substring(@time,4,2)" data-type="number" order="{$sortOrder}"/><!--Minute-->
		<xsl:sort select="substring(@time,7,2)" data-type="number" order="{$sortOrder}"/><!--Second-->

Can't believe I was so dumb really.
Later.
