RE: How to sort a nodeset referenced by a variable?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response I got it working. 

I changed the sort key from 
<xsl:sort select="$fileterNode/secondElement"> 
to
<xsl:sort select="./secondelement" />

It started working. I think now I understand your point.

regards,
Shailendra
