To add an xsl:sort statement using drag and drop:

  1. In the Components window, select the XSLT Elements page.

  2. Expand the Flow Control section. You can click the plus sign (+) next to Flow Control to expand the section.

  3. Drag the sort icon to the top of the element below the for-each node until you can see the green highlighting, as shown in Figure 41-24.

    Figure 41-24 Adding sort to for-each

    Description of Figure 41-24 follows
    Description of "Figure 41-24 Adding sort to for-each"

  4. Drop the sort icon while the green highlighting is visible. An xsl:sort node is added as the sibling node of the highlighted node. In the example shown in Figure 41-24, the xsl:sort node is added as a sibling of the Item element.

  5. To set the element to sort with, drag and drop a node from under the source node-set to the xsl:sort node. For instance, to sort on USPrice, drag the USPrice node from under the node-set element Item to the xsl:sort node, as shown in Figure 41-23.

When viewed in the source view, the xsl:sort statement looks similar to the following: 

<xsl:for-each select="/ns0:PurchaseOrder/Items/HighPriorityItems/Item">
  <xsl:sort select="USPrice"/>
  <Item>
    <Quantity>
      <xsl:value-of select="Qty"/>
    </Quantity>
  </Item>
</xsl:for-each>
