[xsl] sorting by position?

[Stuart Zakon <zakons at objectsbydesign dot com>]

Is there any way to sort using <xsl:sort> for a positional sort?
For instance, given the following XML for a generic table, is there
a way to specify to sort the rows by the first or second column, depending
on which column is chosen to sort by?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<table>	
	<row>
		<column>x</column>
		<column>b</column>
	</row>
	<row>
		<column>z</column>
		<column>c</column>
	</row>
	<row>
		<column>y</column>
		<column>a</column>
	</row>
</table>


Thanks,
