Sorting

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2025Nov/0002

Steven: [Explains the method]

Erik: One difference is that current binds don't move elements.
… the tree of binds would be the same, but there might be a need to move nodes.
… I need time to think how it would work.

Alain: Inside an instance and rendering are different situations.
… and an AVT for changing the direction.
… I have implemented sort from XPath 3, though not the collations

Steven: How further?

Steven: in the mail, there's a typo, it should be <bind sort="ordered-date">
… there's an extra =

Erik: It is easy to check that sorting order matches what is specified.
… otherwise, you need to move elements
… you could imagine that the sort would not mutate the instance
… ... I'm looking for ways to implement it
… normally we use actions to mutate the instance
… I suspect it's not a big problem to mutate at recalculte time, I would need to try implementing it to see if it works.

Steven: So come back later?

Erik: Yes

AOB

Steven: Next meeting next week.
