nysus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I have the following bit of code: 
           <xsl:for-each select="//vendor" >
           <xsl:sort select="vendor_name" data-type="text" />
                
<xsl:value-of select="vendor_name"/>

           </xsl:for-each>
When I run my XML doc through it, however, the order of the vendor names are not alphabetized. They don't appear in the order they are in the document but they certainly aren't alphabetized. I'm running IE 6.0 on a Windows XP machine. Any help would be greatly...

Oh, wait, sorry. I thought this was the Seekers of XML Wisdom thread. Note: Have a happy April Fool's day!

    Update. Misread the question, made a fool of myself. Please ignore. --

      Well, at least someone fell for it. Hehe. That was my one and only April Fool's joke.

      $PM = "Perl Monk's";
      $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop";
      $nysus = $PM . $MCF;

        Where I live, it's been April second for nearly 12 hours, so I think I should get to exact some kind of retribution on you?
