Hi Gerald,

have you been defining your commands in a BaseX command script? In
that case, you’ll now have to specify your queries in a single line or
(better) use the XML syntax for multi-line queries, which could e.g.
read as follows:

<xquery><![CDATA[

<Documents>{
  for $doc in collection('oscrtest/documents/Photograph')/Document
  order by $doc/Header/TimeStamp descending
  return $doc
}</Documents>

]]></xquery>

Hope this helps,
Christian
