[xquery-talk] how can I compare each node with it's prior node

[Ronald Bourret]

You should also consider restructuring your XML so that it is clear 
which price belongs to which item. For example:

<comp-abc>
<dept1>
    <item price="124">abc</item>
    <item price="56">xyz</item>
</dept1>
...
</comp-abc>

or:

<comp-abc>
<dept1>
    <item>
       <name>abc</name>
       <price>124</price>
    </item>
    <item>
       <name>xyz</name>
       <price>56</price>
    </item>
</dept1>
...
</comp-abc>
