Hi Alex,
I see... I think I'll go for the RSS rendered news with it's own
navigation file when I properly switch to version 2.0. I intend this to
be after the summer. News items on our main public site could well get
into the hundreds.
For now, how would I actually get to the filedate. I can sort by
various parts of the XML file <xsl:sort select="@title"> but I need to
sort by the date the file was created/edited.
Cheers
Carl
