Hello @ll.

I have problem with sorting categories via attributes:

my Xml file look like that:  
\<xml\>  
\<data Default=“show all” \>  
\<item client=“client Name” regie=“Mike” cat=“2007” /\>  
\<item client=“client Name” regie=“Mike” cat=“2005” /\>  
\<item client=“client Name” regie=“Mike” cat=“2006” /\>  
\<item client=“client Name” regie=“Mike” cat=“2007” /\>  
\<item client=“client Name” regie=“Mike” cat=“2007” /\>  
\</data\>  
\</xml\>

I know how to display all data from XML and Sort via Categories and create buttons from categories.

What I would like to do is display just one category when I press the button with category name.

Any suggestions please?

I can provide .Fla file if necessary!

Thanks!!
