XSLT and sort a column

[RicercatoreSbadato]

I want to load a table with 2 columns from an xml file.

Is it possible with xslt to sort the columns by clicking on their
header ?

XSLT doesn't know anything about clicks; it's essentially a batch
process. Feed it a document and a stylesheet, get a new document out.

XSLT does have sort operations, so if you can use the click to cause an
appropriate stylesheet to run, you could write a stylesheet which will
perform appropriate sorting.

(Or you could have your stylesheet generate its output including the
appropriate scripting to sort on the client -- but that starts with
someone writing those scripts and deciding what the page that includes
them should look like, then writing the stylesheet to generate the page
that way.)

Thanks, how can I manage the click? i'd like ot work only at client
side..

In that case, you're talking about browser behaviors -- HTML/XHTML
scripting, rather than XML per se.

yes, that's it.
