rss, xmap, date format, xsl:sort

[Helena Edelson]

Hi I have rss for articles in a forrest  app and have been trying unsuccessfully to set up rss for events. Problems I am trying to solve: 1. articles rss requests each page while events must requests each entry - events are a set of items output in one page 2. Events rss needs to be called and ordered by $date. Articles rss is called by x number of entries.     events must be broadcast not by date of event but by pubDate and ordered by date. current articles rss stylesheet   <xsl:for-each select="articles/article[ position() &lt; ($entries+1) ]">        <item>                 .....                 <link>..path/<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>.html</link>                 <pubDate><xsl:value-of select="date"/></pubDate>        </item> while for events rss would need to get by date and would need some standard but in all iterations I have tried, nothing has worked yet:   <xsl:for-each select="events/event[ position() &lt; ($date+1) ]">        <item>                 .....                 <link>..path/events.html</link>                 <pubDate><xsl:value-of select="pubDate"/></pubDate>        </item> Sitemap pipeline for articles uses:           <map:parameter name="entries" value="15"/> while for events would need something like           <map:parameter name="byDate" value=""/> I can't get anything to work so far with attempts at <xsl:sort ...>  or what date format or if I need to break up date as <events>     <event>        <eventInfo..../>         <date><month/><day/><year/></date>    </event> </events>  - helena
