Hi Cecil,

Maybe the following code could help you :

declare function local:ordered-facets($facets) { element { $facets/name() } { $facets/@name, for $node in $facets/(attribute|element) order by $node/name(), $node/@name return local:ordered-facets($node) } };

local:ordered-facets(index:facets('my collection')/document-node)

But be careful because in XML, elements' order is meaningful.

Everybody would be lost without basex, not only newbies !

Best regards, Fabrice

Hi BaseX Gurus,

Thanks for such a powerful reporting tool. I am still a newbie to XML and I would be lost without BaseX. Thank-you!

I was wondering whether there is any way to have the path summary output it's result in alphabetical sequence of attributes and then elements? I export the path summary from different versions of the XML and use BeyondCompare to reveal the differences but the inconsistent ordering of the elements and attributes makes this a bit of a challenge.

It would be really handy for me if there were an option available where I could elect to output the Path Summary with the attributes sorted alphabetically followed by the elements also in alphabetical order (within their parent). If you could consider this for a future enhancement I would be forever grateful.

Of course, if there is an easier way for me to compare XML structure, I would love to know the tricks!

Thanks again for your dedication to this os product.
