using xslt 1.0 on python, I am trying to select a few items while specifying order:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <items> <item name='1'> first </item> <item name='2'> second </item> <item name='3'> third </item> </items> If I use a for-each with a big OR'd together list, I can get the items I want, but only in the original order of the xml source document above.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:for-each select="items/item[@name='2']|items/item[@name='1']"> <p>hi</p> <xsl:value-of select="." /> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This produces:
hi first hi second But I would like to have it output:
hi second hi first I think using xsl:apply-templates might be the way to go, but I can't get it to work with even this simple example. What is the best way in xslt 1.0 to select elements in a specific order?
