Re: Get minimum value for nodes with a given attribute value

Hi Kevin

Am I not right in thinking that I can only use the Xsl:Sort function if
I am in for-else loop?

What I am actually trying to acheive is to put a list at the top of my
page, detailling the cheapest room for each star rating. i.e.

---------------------------------------------
1* - =A310     2* - =A320     4* - 40
---------------------------------------------

If I were to use the XSL sort, what x-path would I use to get each
value?


Many thanks

Darren
