How to gain efficience using Muenchian method sorted on a computed value


Hi,  Everyone,  and Jeni,

Jeni,
Thanks for your patience with me for these days to provide  many seful
suggestions.
In the last mail, you quote as :
1. >I'm afraid that I'm at a

You are absolute right this point. Since then I have tested it  with xml
with Chinese
character, no problem at all. There is nothing to do with XML declaration.
Anyhow it gives me a chance to practice the XML serialization.

2.  I have learned a lot from the xsl-lists, especially from your reply,
about how to get
    the unique set of data using key element, Muenchian method, and key
function
    for the given group data.
    Now working on the real problems, I have  to display the unique set
value which
    are sorted  on the computed values for example, sum(amount),
sum(unitPrice * quantity).
    If using a general approach such as
    <xsl:for-each  select="....>
    <xsl:sort select="sum(amount)"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="sum(amount)"/>..</xsl:for-each>
    it takes at least twice computation effort to get the output.

    So My question is this : will the following two step approach gain some
efficiency
    what are the possible disadvantages included?

3.  Two step approach outlined as:
    1.   Process the Muenchian function and save the unique set data
         as well as sum(amount) in xml structure using RTF.
    2.   2.1 Using RTF as param to bring back the unique set data and
computed value
         and sum(amount) when needed.
         2.2  While displaying the output, display this unique set value on
the value
         of sum(amount) and other related data.
         2.3  When using key function to get the related data of each piece
of unique data,
         the original document to derive unique data has to be recalled.
Such as:

   <xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set($tempResult)/line" >
   <xsl:sort select="Amount" order="descending" data-type="number"/>

   <xsl:variable name="thisPP" select="concat(Account, ':', Date)"/>
   <tr>
 <td><xsl:value-of select="Account"/></td>
 <td><xsl:value-of select="Date"/></td>
 <td><xsl:value-of select="Amount"/></td>
<!-- recalling original set -->
 <xsl:for-each select="/">
 <xsl:for-each select="key('lines',$thisPP)">
 <td><xsl:value-of select="Amount"/></td>
 </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:for-each>
 </tr>
 </xsl:for-each>

        Will this recalling process and RTF offset some gain in computation
saving?
        Why do use <for-each select="/"> and define $thisPP for recalling
process?
        I have puzzled quite a while , even I keep on get desired solutions.

 Please comment,  some one there.
