Hi,
I am a newbie to XQuery, and I am trying to figure out how to put subqueries into my output.
This is my XQuery:
declare boundary-space preserve;
<ul>
{
for $file in doc("resume_2.xml"),
$author in distinct-values($file//author[./@type='Faculty' or ./@type='co-author'])
order by $author ascending
return <li>{data($author)}</li>
}
</ul>
Currently, there are five items that were extracted from the document, and they are in order, but I also want the specific content inside each {data($author)} to be in alphabetical order.
Eg:
<ul>
<li>O,M,P,</li>
<li>P,R,Q</li>
</ul>
Desired Output:
<ul>
<li>M, O,P</li>
<li>P,Q,R</li>
</ul>
Is this possible?
Thanks to those who can help.
