Question

If i use

<xsl:value-of select="position()" />

inside a for-each loop in xsl it works great for an ascending counter. Is there any way to change it to a descending counter?

Thanks

What about as simple as…

<xsl:value-of select="last()-position()+1" />

As fn:last returns the context size, and fn:position – the position of the currently processed item, you just have to substract 1 from their difference (as position starts its count from 1, not 0).
