XSLT Sort Alphabetically & Numerically Problem

I have a group of strings开发者_如何学JAVA ie g:lines = '9,1,306,LUCY,G,38,12'

I need the output to be in XSLT 1.0:

1,9,12,38,306,G,LUCY

This is my current code:

<xsl:for-each select="$all_alerts[g:problem!='normal_service'][g:service='bus']">
  <xsl:sort select="g:line"/>
  <xsl:sort select="number(g:line)" data-type="number"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(g:line)" /><xsl:text/>
  <xsl:if test="position()!=last()"><xsl:text>,&#160;</xsl:text></xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

I can get it to only display '1, 12, 306, 38, 9, G, LUCY' because the 2nd sort isn't being picked up.

Anyone able help me out?

To achieve this using just one xsl:foreach statement, try the following:

<xsl:for-each select="$all_alerts[g:problem!='normal_service'][g:service='bus']"> 
  <xsl:sort select="not(number(g:line))"/> 
  <xsl:sort select="number(g:line)" data-type="number"/> 
  <xsl:sort select="g:line"/> 
  <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(g:line)" /><xsl:text/> 
  <xsl:if test="position()!=last()"><xsl:text>,&#160;</xsl:text></xsl:if> 
</xsl:for-each> 

The first xsl:sort sorts on whether the line is a number or not. The not() returns false if the line is a number, and true if it isn't. false is sorted before true, and so the numbers come out first. If you omit this sort, the letters will appear first.

The next xsl:sort sorts numerically, and so will sort the numbers correctly, but not affect the letters (which all return NaN when number() is applied).

The final xsl:sort will sort the letters alphabetically.

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:for-each select="(9,1,306,'LUCY','G',89)" >
    <xsl:sort select="if (number()) then () else ."/>
    <xsl:sort select="number(.)" data-type="number" />
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    <xsl:value-of select="', '" />
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

gives me

1, 9, 89, 306, G, LUCY,

I guess that is what you need, right?

In XSLT 1.0 I think you need something like this:

<xsl:for-each select="$all_alerts[g:problem!='normal_service'][g:service='bus']">  
    <xsl:sort select="g:line[number(g:line) != number(g:line)]"/>  
    <xsl:sort select="g:line[number(g:line) = number(g:line)]" data-type="number"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(g:line)" /><xsl:text/>  
    <xsl:if test="position()!=last()"><xsl:text>,&#160;</xsl:text></xsl:if>  
</xsl:for-each>

number($foo) != number($foo) is XSLT 1.0 idiom for testing if a value is not a number.

Another (more clean I guess) solution would be to select/sort first numbers, then others.

I believe this accomplishes what you want.

I split out the evaluation/sort of numbers first and then text node values.

    <xsl:for-each select="$all_alerts[g:problem!='normal_service'][g:service='bus'][number(g:line)=number(g:line)]">
        <xsl:sort select="g:line" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(g:line)" />
        <xsl:text/>
        <xsl:if test="position()!=last() or $all_alerts[g:problem!='normal_service'][g:service='bus'][number(g:line)!=number(g:line)]">
            <xsl:text>,&#160;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>

    <xsl:for-each select="$all_alerts[g:problem!='normal_service'][g:service='bus'][number(g:line)!=number(g:line)]">
        <xsl:sort select="g:line[number(g:line) != number(g:line)]"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(g:line)" />
        <xsl:text/>
        <xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
            <xsl:text>,&#160;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
