It looks as if your dates are in the format dd/mm/yyyy, which although more
logical than the form mm/dd/yyyy, still does not sort naturally.

With XSLT 1.0, the technique is to convert the dates to numbers like this:

number(concat(substring(x, 7, 4), substring(x, 4, 2), substring(x, 1, 2)))

and then compare the numbers.

(This is assuming the month and day are always two digits: I shouldn't
really assume that simply because it's true for the six records shown
above).
