Hi

I have an issue regarding xsl sort.
I have implemented the following lines for sort :

<xsl:for-each select="ANNOTATIONDATA/ANNOTATIONS/ANNOTATION">
<xsl:sort select="*[name() = $SortCol]" order="{$SortOrd}"
data-type="{$SortType}"/>

This works fine if i loop through
ANNOTATIONDATA/ANNOTATIONS/ANNOTATIONS but my sort condition also
involves the childnodes of  EXTENDEDITEMS (Supposing the column header
includes ENTEREDBYNAME, ANNOTATIONTEXT, EXPDATE and TEXT).
Now i need the SortCol to be validated against both main loop of
ANNOTATIONS and also the childnodes of EXTENDEDITEMS.

My xml looks like this.


<ANNOTATIONDATA>
	<EXTENDEDITEMSDEFINITION>
		<EXPDATE ItemName="expdate" SummaryLabel="expdate" ItemType="DT" />
		<TEXT ItemName="Text" SummaryLabel="Te" ItemType="TX" />
	</EXTENDEDITEMSDEFINITION>
	<ANNOTATIONS>
		<ANNOTATIONS>
			<ANNOTATIONID>1305</ANNOTATIONID>
			<ENTEREDDATETIME>11 Dec 2006 17:11</ENTEREDDATETIME>
			<ENTEREDBYNAME>Jill</ENTEREDBYNAME>
			<ANNOTATIONTEXT>expdate: &lt;b&gt;11 Dec 2006&lt;</ANNOTATIONTEXT>
			<EXTENDEDITEMS>
				<EXPDATE>
					<EXTITEMDATAID>8826</EXTITEMDATAID>
					<EXTENDEDITEMID>162</EXTENDEDITEMID>
					<ITEMTYPE>DT</ITEMTYPE>
					<ITEMCODE>expdate</ITEMCODE>
				</EXPDATE>
				<TEXT>
					<EXTITEMDATAID>8827</EXTITEMDATAID>
					<EXTENDEDITEMID>165</EXTENDEDITEMID>
					<ITEMTYPE>TX</ITEMTYPE>
					<ITEMCODE>Text</ITEMCODE>
				</TEXT>
			</EXTENDEDITEMS>
			<EXPIREDIND>0</EXPIREDIND>
		</ANNOTATION>
		<ANNOTATION>
			<ANNOTATIONID>1379</ANNOTATIONID>
			<ENTEREDDATETIME>11 Dec 2006 17:07</ENTEREDDATETIME>
			<ENTEREDBYNAME>Jack</ENTEREDBYNAME>
			<ANNOTATIONTEXT>expdate: &lt;b&gt;11 </ANNOTATIONTEXT>
			<EXTENDEDITEMS>
				<EXPDATE>
					<EXTITEMDATAID>8822</EXTITEMDATAID>
					<EXTENDEDITEMID>162</EXTENDEDITEMID>
					<ITEMTYPE>DT</ITEMTYPE>
					<ITEMCODE>expdate</ITEMCODE>
				</EXPDATE>
			</EXTENDEDITEMS>
			<EXPIREDIND>0</EXPIREDIND>
		</ANNOTATION>
	</ANNOTATIONS>
</ANNOTATIONDATA>

Do anyone have any idea regarding this issue????
