The XSLT, and sample in- and output (simplified) are
at
http://www.pinkjuice.com/temp/XSLT/sort-products/
The simplified input:


<products>
	<product id="a_a_00_03">
		1
	</product>
	<product id="a_a_00_01">
		2
	</product>
	<product id="a_a_00_02">
		3
	</product>	
	<product id="a_a_00_04">
		4
	</product>
	<!--	

	<product id="a_a_30_50">
		5
	</product>
	<product id="a_a_60_20">
		6
	</product>
	<product id="a_a_30_20">
		7
	</product>
	 three digits group
	<product id="a_a_100_30">
		8
	</product>
	 three pairs
	<product id="a_a_90_30_20">
		9
	</product>
     -->
</products>

and the current output, which is correct

<products>
   <product id="a_a_00_01">
		2
	</product>
   <product id="a_a_00_02">
		3
	</product>
   <product id="a_a_00_03">
		1
	</product>
   <product id="a_a_00_04">
		4
	</product>
</products>

But the XSLT works only with these "ideal" values.
