XSLT-problem with sequence attributes

Question

Hi,
in my XSLT-program (i'm a real newbie!) i'm adding dynamically attributes and their values to a tag, by using the following code :
<SUPPLIER>
  <xsl:attribute name="FUNLOC">
    <xsl:value-of select="SUPPLIER_FUNLOC" />
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="NAME">
    <xsl:value-of select="SUPPLIER_NAME" />
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="LOCATION">
    <xsl:value-of select="SUPPLIER_LOCATION" />
  </xsl:attribute>
  </SUPPLIER>
The problem is that the attributes in the resulting xml-file are alphabetically ordered. For instance :
<SUPPLIER FUNLOC="9522222" LOCATION="NL" NAME="Test vendor VMOI">
How can i arrange that the result of the xml-file is a sequence of entrance is taken, so
<SUPPLIER FUNLOC="9522222" NAME="Test vendor VMOI" LOCATION="NL" >
regards,
Hans

Hi Hans,
I think you're using ABAP-XSLT?!
If you do so, you can solve the sorting problem by using a 1:1 Message mapping after the ABAP-XSLT mapping. This resolves the problem that the nodes are not in the correct order.
In your interface mapping you have to configure 2 mappings:
1: ABAP-XSLT
2: Message mapping.
Of course this means that the total processing time increases a little bit.
I had the same problem with the sequence of my (ACC_DOCUMENT) idoc nodes, the ABAP-XSLT screwed up the idoc, but the 1:1 message mapping solved the problem.
