Newbie in XSL: How can I switch the position of two columns?

Hello there,

I am new in XML/XSL programming and I am having trouble trying to switch two columns from their original position in XML.

In other words, suppose I have this table in the original XML file:

col1 col2 col3 ...
c11 c21 c32 ...
c21 c22 c32 ...
...

I would like to get this in the final HTML:

col1 col3 col2 ...
c11 c31 c22 ...
c21 c32 c22 ...
...

i.e. switch column2 and column3.

I am using the position() funtion but I can only read its values, not set them. Or can I?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Store the value of position to a variable

<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()" />
