Order of nodes in XSL Transformation - xslt

I have a xml which looks like below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Object>
<Data type="plan" name="testAom" id="10">
<obj class="D" version="1.0" distName="A-1/B-1/C-1/D-1" operation="create" >
<p name="Active">1</p>
<p name="Type">CPU</p>
<p name="StDate">2013-07-27T00:00:00+00:00</p>
<p name="StpDate">2013-07-29T00:00:00+00:00</p>
</obj>
<obj class="E" version="1.0" distName="A-1/B-1/C-1/D-1/E-1" operation="create">
<p name="dayOfWeek">0</p>
<p name="interval">10</p>
</obj>
<obj class="E" version="1.0" distName="A-1/B-1/C-1/D-2/E-1" operation="update">
<p name="dayOfWeek">0</p>
<p name="interval">10</p>
</obj>
<obj class="D" version="1.0" distName="A-1/B-1/C-1/D-2" operation="update">
<p name="Active">1</p>
<p name="Type">CPU</p>
<p name="StDate">2013-07-27T00:00:00+00:00</p>
<p name="StpDate">2013-07-29T00:00:00+00:00</p>
</obj>
</Data>
</Object>
Here the order of the input source file is not guaranteed. But in the output after an XSL transformation, i require the output to be in certain order.
Below is the XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="obj[#class = 'D' ]">
<xsl:variable name="item" select="."/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$item/#operation='update'">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="operation">delete</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="operation">create</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="operation">NEW_create</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="obj[#class = 'E' ]">
<xsl:variable name="childitem" select="."/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$childitem/#operation='update'">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="operation">delete</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="operation">create</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="operation">NEW_create</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The output i get is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Here when the operation attribute is "update", i need to do a delete and create.
The nodes above have a parent child relationship based on attribute distName, ie A-1/B-1/C-1/D-1 is parent of A-1/B-1/C-1/D-1/E-1.
For the update operation to work correct, i need the parent create and delete first and then followed by child delete and create always.
How can this be achieved irrespective of the order of input source xml file??
ie. obj nodes with class attribute D should be first in order than E.
Expected Output XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I may be missing something in your requirements, but if not, then an update is simply a delete and a create and can be done in a single template. I focused my solution on the action, not on the class. I think my stylesheet produces exactly what you asked to be produced, but it may not be doing what you want. I hope it helps.

XSLT - Change value of element in xml based on some condition

I need to modify the content of xml based on value of some elemnt in the input xml.
Input XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Objects>
<Object class="Item" version="1.0" distName="A-1/B-1/Item-0">
<p name="sDate">2013-02-11T00:00:00+02:00:00</p>
<p name="present">1</p>
<p name="stopD">2013-02-21T00:00:00+02:00:00</p>
<p name="id">CPU</p>
</Object>
<Object class="Item" version="1.0" distName="A-1/B-1/Item-1">
<p name="sDate">2013-02-11T00:00:00+02:00:00</p>
<p name="present">1</p>
<p name="stopD">2013-02-21T00:00:00+02:00:00</p>
<p name="id">CPU</p>
</Object>
</Objects>
The XSL should change the value of an element based on its value.
For Eg:
In node Item, if the value of element sDate is 2013-02-11T00:00:00+02:00:00 , i need to make it empty like shown below.
Output XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Objects>
<Object class="Item" version="1.0" distName="A-1/B-1/Item-0">
<p name="sDate"></p>
<p name="present">1</p>
<p name="stopD">2013-02-21T00:00:00+02:00:00</p>
<p name="id">CPU</p>
</Object>
<Object class="Item" version="1.0" distName="A-1/B-1/Item-1">
<p name="sDate"></p>
<p name="present">1</p>
<p name="stopD">2013-02-21T00:00:00+02:00:00</p>
<p name="id">CPU</p>
</Object>
</Objects>
I tried some xsl but couldnt get the thing working.. Any leads?

Your question is not quite clear. The following stylesheet will do exactly what you ask for - but I am not sure it provides a general example:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p[#name='sDate'][.='2013-02-11T00:00:00+02:00:00']">
<p name="sDate"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note:
In node Item, if the value of element sDate is
2013-02-11T00:00:00+02:00:00
There is no Item node in your XML, nor a sDate element.

Grouping the consecutive elements in XSLT

I am new to XSLT and XML. I have the following XML. I wanted to group the consecutive child elements.
<Root>
<Child No="1" Month="0" Date="13/08/2014" Payment="100">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="2" Month="1" Date="13/09/2014" Payment="100">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="3" Month="2" Date="13/10/2014" Payment="200">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="4" Month="3" Date="13/11/2014" Payment="300">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="5" Month="4" Date="13/12/2014" Payment="300">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="6" Month="5" Date="13/01/2015" Payment="100">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="7" Month="6" Date="13/01/2015" Payment="100">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="8" Month="7" Date="13/01/2015" Payment="100">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="9" Month="8" Date="13/01/2015" Payment="100">
<Totals/>
</Child>
<Child No="10" Month="9" Date="13/01/2015" Payment="100">
<Totals/>
</Child>
</Root>
I need to create a new PP node when Child[n]/Payment <> Child[n-1]/Payment using the XSLT.
And I am expecting the below result,
<PPS>
<PP>
<Ps>
<StartMonth>0</StartMonth>
<EndMonth>1</EndMonth>
<P>
<Amount>100</Amount>
<startP>1</startP>
</P>
<P>
<Amount>100</Amount>
<startP>2</startP>
</P>
</Ps>
</PP>
<PP>
<Ps>
<StartMonth>2</StartMonth>
<EndMonth>2</EndMonth>
<P>
<Amount>200</Amount>
<startP>3</startP>
</P>
</Ps>
</PP>
<PP>
<Ps>
<StartMonth>3</StartMonth>
<EndMonth>4</EndMonth>
<P>
<Amount>300</Amount>
<startP>4</startP>
</P>
<P>
<Amount>300</Amount>
<startP>5</startP>
</P>
</Ps>
</PP>
<PP>
<Ps>
<StartMonth>5</StartMonth>
<EndMonth>9</EndMonth>
<P>
<Amount>100</Amount>
<startP>6</startP>
</P>
<P>
<Amount>100</Amount>
<startP>7</startP>
</P>
<P>
<Amount>100</Amount>
<startP>8</startP>
</P>
<P>
<Amount>100</Amount>
<startP>9</startP>
</P>
<P>
<Amount>100</Amount>
<startP>10</startP>
</P>
</Ps>
</PP>
</PPS>
Here is my sample xslt
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:key name="x" match="Child" use="#Payment"/>
<xsl:template match="/Root">
<PPS>
<xsl:for-each select="CF">
<xsl:if test="generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('x',#Payment)[1])">
<PP>
<Ps>
<xsl:for-each select="key('x', #Payment)">
<P>
<Amount><xsl:value-of select="format-number(translate(#Payment, ',','.'),'0.00')"/></Amount>
<startP><xsl:value-of select="#Date"/></startP>
</P>
</xsl:for-each>
</Ps>
</PP>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</PPS>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This would work:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/Root">
<PPS>
<xsl:for-each select="Child">
<xsl:variable name="Payment" select="#Payment"/>
<xsl:if test="not(preceding::*[1][self::Child and #Payment = $Payment])">
<PPS>
<Ps>
<xsl:apply-templates select="current()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following::*[1][self::Child and #Payment = $Payment]">
<xsl:with-param name="Payment" select="$Payment"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</Ps>
</PPS>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</PPS>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Child">
<xsl:param name="Payment"/>
<P>
<Amount>
<xsl:value-of select="#Payment"/>
</Amount>
<startP>
<xsl:value-of select="#No"/>
</startP>
</P>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following::*[1][self::Child and #Payment = $Payment]"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

xslt how to fill missing numbers

This is the input xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<record>
<Tubes>
<Tube carousel_pos="1" tube_pos="1">
<TubeID>FLW140000293A0101</TubeID>
<markers>
<marker position="4">MSIGG1-PC55</marker>
<marker position="9">MSIGG1-PB</marker>
<marker position="8">MSIGG1-APCAF750</marker>
<marker position="10">CD45-KO</marker>
</markers>
</Tube>
<Tube carousel_pos="2" tube_pos="2">
<TubeID>FLW140000293A0102</TubeID>
<markers>

<marker position="8">CD4-APCAF750</marker>
<marker position="10">CD45-KO</marker>
</markers>
</Tube>
</Tubes>
</record>
This is what it should output
<p num="1">Empty</p>
<p num="2">Empty</p>
<p num="3">Empty</p>
<p num="4">CD3-PC55</p>
<p num="5">Empty</p>

<p num="7">Empty</p>
<p num="8">CD4-APCAF750</p>
<p num="9">CD8-PB</p>
<p num="10">CD45-KO</p>

</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="routine">
<xsl:param name="PC"/>
<xsl:param name="PT"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If you are able to use XSLT 2.0, as your current XSLT is showing, you should be able to make use of an incrementing loop, like so
<xsl:for-each select="1 to 10">
First create a variable holding all the marker elements, the get the maximum #position attribute
<xsl:variable name="markers" select="markers/marker" />
<xsl:variable name="max" select="max($markers/#position)" />
Then, you have your xsl:for-each loop like this:
<xsl:for-each select="1 to xs:integer($max)">
To check if the element exists for each position is then quite straight-forward using the previous markers variable
<xsl:variable name="position" select="position()" />
<xsl:choose>

I could achieve most of desired output except for few...
I want the output to be sorted based on distName attribute of object nodes.
I want the sort to happen only to certain child nodes with class names as Branch , BranchItem , BranchItemPeriod.
Here i try for update with delete and create operation, so i want also to maintain the order of delete and create too which i do in present transformation logic or else can it so happen that i sort all first based on above criteria and apply the other transformation logic.
Any suggestion or help is highly appreciated.

I think what you need here is a template that matches the InsideData element, where you can then select the child object elements in the order you require.
You would first start by outputting the non-"object" elements, assuming these always come before the object elements.
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()[not(self::x:object)]"/>
Then you would select the object elements with the class attribute you desire, sorting in the order you require too:
<xsl:apply-templates select="x:object[#class='Branch' or #class='BranchItem' or #class='BranchItemPeriod']">
<xsl:sort select="#distName"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
Finally, you would output the object elements which have the the class attributes.
<xsl:apply-templates select="x:object[not(#class='Branch' or #class='BranchItem' or #class='BranchItemPeriod')]"/>
Try adding this template to your XSLT to see how you get on:
<xsl:template match="x:InsideData">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()[not(self::x:object)]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="x:object[#class='Branch' or #class='BranchItem' or #class='BranchItemPeriod']">
<xsl:sort select="#distName"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:apply-templates select="x:object[not(#class='Branch' or #class='BranchItem' or #class='BranchItemPeriod')]"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Apply a template between two specific nodes in XSLT

I had a problem in xsl:for-each-group and it was very nicely solved in here. Now I have some other problem. I have like this as input.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<body>
<p name ="section">this is section</p>
<p name="h-title" other="main">Introduction</p>
<p name="h1-title " other="other-h1">XSLT and XQuery</p>
<p name="h2-title" other=" other-h2">XSLT</p>
<p name="">

Now my wanted output is this

<xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="$items" group-starting-with="p[#name = concat($prefix,$level, $suffix)]">

</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="h{$level}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group() except ., $level + 1)"/>

<xsl:template match="#* | node()">

<xsl:template match="body" name ="myTemplate">

</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="body[#name='section']">
<section>
<xsl:call-template name="myTemplate"/>
</section>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But this is not correct. Things like <p name ="section">this is section</p> appear widely. not only that, there are few others like this. If someone please show me how to handle with section I will be able to do that for others too. Please tell me how to do this correctly.

I think you mainly want another grouping step; the stylesheet

<xsl:for-each-group select="$items" group-starting-with="p[#name = concat($prefix, $level, $suffix)]">

<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="h{$level}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group() except ., $level + 1)"/>

<xsl:template match="body">

That has the structure you posted I think, with the exception of the <p name="h-title" other="main">Introduction</p> element being inside a section while your posted example moved it to the top. I am not sure what are the rules for doing that so I have not tried to implement that. Please clarify whether you simply want to move that single element to the top and not apply the grouping to it or whether there are more complex rules to exempt certain elements.
[edit]In case you simply want to move all p[#name = 't-title'] to the top and not group them then the following adaption of above stylesheet should do the job:
