XSLT <xsl:sort> Element

The <xsl:sort> element is used to sort the output results.

Where to Place Sorting Information

To sort the output results, simply add an <xsl:sort> element inside the <xsl:for-each> element in the XSL file:

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

&lt;xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
  <h2>My CD Collection</h2>
  <table border="1">
    <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
      <th>Title</th>
      <th>Artist</th>
    </tr>
    &lt;xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
      &lt;xsl:sort select="artist"/>
      <tr>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
      </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Note: The select attribute indicates the XML element to be sorted.
