Hi,<br>
<br>
I am using BaseX 6.5 database. Say I have the documents : 
doc1, doc2 in my database and the first child node of these documents is 
&quot;updatedTime&quot;.<br>
<br>
Say the &quot;updatedTime&quot; node of doc1 and doc2 have the 
values : 2011-02-07T14:40:00.78-05:00 and 2011-02-07T14:41:02.133-05:00 
respectively.<br>
<br>
I am trying to return a sorted list of document names in the descending order of the updatedTime node.<br>
<br>
I tried the following xquery:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">for $doc_name in db:list()<br>
  order by xs:dateTime(doc($doc_name)/updatedTime) descending<br>
    return $doc_name<br></div>
<p>The
 output I receive is [doc1, doc2]. But, the expected output is [doc2, 
doc1]. I tried both ascending and descending in the order by statement 
but I get the same output. I am not sure how the ordering of elements by
 dateTime works. Could you help? <br><br>Thanks,<br>Sony</p>
<p>PS: This is a simplified version of my code. The actual nodes have 
namespace prefixes. I hope the solution would be consistent when 
namespaces are used.<br>
