Can't you tell by looking at the output whether you are getting the
output you think you are getting?!? :) If not, perhaps you should try
working on a sample file containing fewer entries to start with?

All I can tell you is what the above does:

  It finds all the PERSNAME elements that are within a CO2 element
  within the document.

  It sorts the PERSNAME elements alphabetically by their string value
  (their content).

  It creates a <LI> element for each PERSNAME in sorted order.

  Within the LI element it gives the value of that PERSNAME element,
  followed by six spaces, followed by the value of the ENCODINGANALOG
  attribute on that PERSNAME element.

The value of the ENCODINGANALOG attribute does not affect the order in
which the PERSNAME elements are processed.

Cheers,

Jeni
