                        <xsl:sort select="CFNumber" order="ascending"
data-type="number"/>

For the above fragment to work, CFNumber has to be a child element of a child element of CF_DETAILS, but you don't show enough of your data to know if this is true or not.

Are you, perhaps, just missing a few steps in your XPath address? I don't think you've given enough information, such as describing what you do see that isn't correct, in order for people to comment.

I hope this helps.
