Re: sorting xml nodes in freemarker

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the reply. That really helped.

However, my requirement is some thing like this. Consider the xml below

<games>
    <game name = "b">
          <publisher>
               <gameCompany name = "abc"></gameCompany>
          </publisher>
          <rating>9.0</rating>
     </game>
    <game name = "a">
          <publisher>
               <gameCompany name = "pqr"></gameCompany>
          </publisher>
     </game> 
    <game name = "c">
          <publisher>
               <gameCompany name = "xyz"></gameCompany>
          </publisher>
          <rating>6.0</rating>
    </game>
</games> 


I want to sort the game nodes based on the gameCompany name. How do I write
the syntax?

Also, Suppose I want to sort on rating , when I write  

[#list game_root.game?sort_by("rating") as game]

I get the following error
sort_by(...) failed: Values used for sorting must be numbers, strings, or
date/time values.

I suppose this error is because in the second game node rating node does not
exist. Is there any way I can still have the sorting done based on rating
without changing the xml?

Thanks.
Kunal
