My date format is dd mon yyyy 1. you are using XSL 1.0 or 2.0? 2. If you are using xsl 1.0 this doesn't have datatypes like date, time, integer, etc. You split the date and sort it. e.g <xsl:sort select="substring-before(' ',date)" data-type="number"/> Regards, Balaji.

My date format is dd mon yyyy XSLT 2.0 supports the xs:date data type but it has the format yyyy-mm-dd so you would need to reorder your date strings. With XSLT 1.0 you need to sort numbers or strings, you can do that also by reordering your date strings in the format yyyymmdd. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
