  "."

or

  "@price"


depending on how you specified the XPath expression in the "select" 
attribute of the xsl:sort instruction.

For displaying only the minimal price, you'd do this only if

   position() = 1

(tip: use xsl:if   :o)     )

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* - £10     2* - £20     4* - 40
---------------------------------------------

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


Many thanks

Darren
