In your stylesheet you have:
<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
  <xsl:sort select="node/rank" ... />
</xsl:apply-templates>

Here you are saying:
Apply templates to node "node" and sort it buy child::node/child::rank

Basicaly you are using node and sorting by node/node/rank (path from the
same parent)

What you want is
<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
  <xsl:sort select="rank" ... />
</xsl:apply-templates>

That way you select node and sort it by node/rank (path from the same
parent)

Hope this helps you.
