the related xsl file is the one shown above.
The need is to sort the html table contents based on the column clicks provided by the user.

This has to be done dynamically based on the user clicks.
i.e. if the user clicks on Number the contents are to be sorted based on number,if the user clicks on Design Index the data has to be sorted by design Index..

In short how do we sort the data dynamically based on events like the onclick in xslt.

Kindly post in your suggestions.
