I have this xlst which gives 4 childnodes of a define parent, the sort order is descending, how do i make it so it gets the last 4 instead of the 1st 6 then stopping?
Like lets say i have 8 pages, it seems to be listing 4,3,2,1 instead of 8,7,6,5...
<!-- Don't change this, but add a 'contentPicker' element to --> <!-- your macro with an alias named 'source' --> <xsl:variable name="source" select="1155"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- The fun starts here --> <ul> <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and position() < 5]"> <xsl:sort select="@sortOrder" data-type="number" order="descending" /> <li> <h3><xsl:value-of select="data[@alias= 'date']" /></h3> <p> <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/> <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"> learn more > </a> </p> </li> </xsl:for-each> </ul>
In your example, you created a list of 4 nodes and then perform the sorting (as this is forward only reading, only the first 4 nodes 1,2,3,4 were taken into account when performing the sort resulting in 4,3,2,1)
hmm, I'm getting the following error when i try your solutin, any thoughts?
Error occured
System.Xml.Xsl.XslLoadException: Expected end of the expression, found 'lt'.

Sort order and limit of child nodes.

Hi Amir,
You'll have to move the 'position()' logic out of the for-each loop and use it in an if statement as in:
<ul> <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']"> <xsl:sort select="@sortOrder" data-type="number" order="descending" /> <xsl:if test="position() lt; 5"> <li> <h3><xsl:value-of select="data[@alias= 'date']" /></h3> <p> <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/> <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"> learn more > </a> </p> </li> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </ul>In your example, you created a list of 4 nodes and then perform the sorting (as this is forward only reading, only the first 4 nodes 1,2,3,4 were taken into account when performing the sort resulting in 4,3,2,1)
Cheers,
