change this to 

  <xsl:apply-templates select="ARTICLE[starts-with(CODE, 'J') or starts-with(CODE, 'B')]" />

> 		<xsl:sort select="CODE"/>
> 		<xsl:sort select="LOADPORT"/>
> 	</xsl:apply-templates>
> 	</xsl:copy>
> </xsl:template>
> <xsl:template match="ARTICLE">
> 	<xsl:if test="child::CODE[. $lt$ 'K' and . $gte$ 'J']">
> 	<xsl:copy>
> 		<xsl:apply-templates/>
> 	</xsl:copy>
> 	</xsl:if>
> </xsl:template>

and this template to 

  <xsl:template match="ARTICLE">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

That is, instead of selecting all ARTICLEs and filtering out all the unwanted ones, select only the wanted ARTICLEs in the first place.
