Yes ... you're sorting with:

but your data looks like this

you have a mismatch here - either do a numeric sort on 

	select='./interaction/timestamp/@unix' 

since the unix attribute *is* numeric, or use your existing select with 

	data-type='text'

since timestamp's content is (given that XPath doesn't have any date /
time datatypes) alphanumeric.
