Re: [Hypercontent-users] XML/XSL Include

HI Carl,
The creation date is available via dublin core metadata, i.e.
/cms:wrapper/cms:include/rdf:RDF/cfs:File/dc:date
In the current release this is only a date stamp, so the sorting
isn't reliable between items created on the same day. The CVS code
is already updated so this is a date-time stamp. It's in ISO 8601
format ("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ") which means it can be sorted
lexicographically without parsing the date.
Cheers,
Alex
