Hello!
Here is a sorting problem I cannot manage:
input xml represents forum threads
<root>
<aaa vl="2001-12-02 13:56">
<aaa vl="2002-01-02 12:32">
<aaa vl="2002-01-03 14:43" />
</aaa>
<aaa vl="2002-02-01 13:43" />
</aaa>
<aaa vl="2002-01-03 14:54" />
<aaa vl="2002-02-01 10:44">
<aaa vl="2002-02-01 10:45" />
</aaa>
</root>
and stylesheet have to sort threads (root/aaa elements) by last message
date (taking into account vl attributes in descendants elements).
I can sort by root/aaa dates, but I can't consider descendant messages
<xsl:sort select="translate(@vl, '-, ','')" />
PS. I'm aware of xslt2 and saxon solutions, but unfortunately I need
pure xslt1 one.
