Question

I have a structure like this:

  <Info ID='1'>     ...     <Date>2009-04-21</Date>   </Info>   <Info ID='2'>     ...     <Date>2009-04-22</Date>   </Info>   <Info ID='3'>     ...     <Date>2009-04-20</Date>   </Info> 

I want to get the latest date using XSLT (in this example – 2009-04-22).

Answer 1

Figured it out, wasn’t as hard as I thought it will be:

        <xsl:variable name='latest'>           <xsl:for-each select='Info'>             <xsl:sort select='Date' order='descending' />             <xsl:if test='position() = 1'>               <xsl:value-of select='Date'/>             </xsl:if>           </xsl:for-each>         </xsl:variable>       <xsl:value-of select='$latest'/>
