RE: [xsl] Sorting a NodeSet Contained Within a Variable

Hmm, then you should probably show us how your variable is built.
In (pure) XSLT 1.0 you can't create a node-set as a result of a transformation.
Fortunately many vendors invented a node-set() extension function.

So I assume the problem is that your variable actually doesn't contain
a node-set, but rather a value of a different type.

Cheers,
Oliver
