I'm creating a website where I need to show
the top 5 records from an RSS
feed, and these need to be sorted by date and time.
The date fields in
the RSS
feed are in
the following format:
"Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:02:44 GMT"
I'm having big problems getting
the records to sort correctly - I've tried lots of different code examples I've seen, but none seem to sort
the records correctly.
The code for my XSL sheet is shown below, and
the feed in question is
here.
Very grateful for anyones help!!!
Thanks,
Chris.
XSL CODE:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:digg="http://digg.com//docs/diggrss/"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//*[local-name()='item'][position() < 6]">
<p>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="*[local-name()='link']"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="target">
<xsl:text>top</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="*[local-name()='title']"/>
</a>
<br/>
<span class="smaller"><xsl:value-of select="*[local-name()='pubDate']" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></span>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>
