Re: [Xmltk-devs] Xsort problems with XML attributes

[Makoto O. <oni...@la...>]

Hello Luis Alberto,

If you want to sort elements by key values as integer type, =

you need to specify -t option. =


In your example, probably what you want to do is done by =

  xsort -t "/inicio/*/area:%i" -c /inicio -e "*" -k "area" your.xml;
The text data of area is treated as integer, so the result becomes =

as follows. I tested it by xmltk1.1 which is the latest version I =

maintain.

<inicio>
<sortD>
<nombre>ff</nombre>
<area>2</area>
</sortD>
<sortD a=3D"2">
<nombre>aa</nombre>
<area>4</area>
</sortD>
<sortD>
<nombre>ww</nombre>
<area>4</area>
</sortD>
<sortD>
<nombre>bb</nombre>
<area>6</area>
</sortD>
<sortD>
<nombre>cc</nombre>
<area>24</area>
</sortD>
</inicio>
