Re: [xslt] XSL Sort + ICU

["Richard Jinks" <cyberthymia yahoo co uk>]

Hi

Attached is the diff file for the pluggable sort function.
I've modified the libxslt.def.src file to add the two new public functions,
but I'm not sure what else will need changing to know about them - I've
never got round to figuring how the build procedures work on either linux or
windows...

I've got a modified version of the sort function that uses ICU that people
might want to use as an example. Would you like this submitted in some form?
I'm not sure if it requires simply updating documentation, or if it would be
worth adding to the tutorial?

Thanks for your help,
Richard
