xtags:forEach - integer sorting

[LANTRES Franck <Fr...@fr.renault-sport-f1.com>]

Hi,

In a JSP, I use the xtags:forEach element and I would like to sort
elements in descending order according to an integer value.

If the XML source is :
<foo>
...
<list>
<value>2</value>
<value>4</value>
<value>6</value>
<value>56</value>
</list>
</foo>

And if I write :
<xtags:forEach select="/foo/list" sort="value" ascending="false"/>

The result I get is :
6
56
4
2
But I expect :
56
6
4
2

How can I do that ?

Thanks for your help.

Franck

Which is reasonable, as forEach does string sorting. You might want to 
either pad numbers with zeros or white space, or sort them yourself 
somehow.
