RE: Order by attribute name

[Jonathan Marsh <jmarsh at microsoft dot com>]

In IE5 XSL, the order-by expression must evaluate to nodes, so there is no
way to return a calculated value such as the node's name.  In XSLT you can
do:

  <xsl:apply-templates select="@*">
    <xsl:sort select="name()"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
