I'd like to sort result by an element which is in an included xml with using document(). I did it this way...

<xsl:for-each select="tech[tech]">
<xsl:variable name="current-tech" select="@descr"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$current-tech" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="document('css_report.xml')//item[metadata/technology=$current-tech]" mode="report" />
</xsl:for-each>


<xsl:template match="item" mode="report">
        <xsl:sort select="content/company"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="content/company"/><br/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:sort/> must be a child of <xsl:for-each> or <xsl:apply-templates>, not a child of <xsl:template>, because it is modifying the parent instructions that are obtaining node sets to be processed. If you move the <xsl:sort/> instruction above to be a child of <xsl:apply-templates> you will get some meaningful results.


I hope this helps.
