Re: Sorting elements by element name

I would like to sort some XML data by the names of the elements.
I have found some XSLT that does that on the net, but there seems to be a
problem when the elements have attributes. Is there a way to accomplish
the above (possibly by finetuning the XSLT below)?

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-template select="@* | node()">
			<xsl:sort select="name()"/>
		</xsl:apply-template>
	</xsl:copy>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*">
			<xsl:sort select="name()"/>
		</xsl:apply-templates>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="node()">
			<xsl:sort select="name()"/>
		</xsl:apply-templates>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="node()">
			<xsl:sort select="name()"/>
		</xsl:apply-templates>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
