populating drop down

[aleks1429]

Hi,

I am reading an Xml document and grabbing a node name to populate a drop down and that works fine. However, now I need to sort my drop down to present a sorted drop down to a user. How would i go about do this?

I tried XSL and I able to sort the data, however, I don't know how to drop this sorted string into a drop down. Can someone give me advice?

thanks

Try to read the xml, load the xsl, transform the xml which should return more xml then bind the drop-down to the new xml which has been sorted by xsl

i have done just that, however, the problem is that the result from the transform is just one big string rather than a sorted XML page...how can i get the same XML back but with sorted info?
