I'm not familiar with the cocoon 2 processor, but if it's an XSLT 2.0
processor you can use:

<xsl:for-each select="for $x in
collection('pathToXMLDirectory?select=*.xml;recurse=yes;on-error=warn')
			return $x//defnition">
  <xsl:sort select="youdidntsay"/>

...where pathToXMLDirectory is the path of the directory containing
the XML and youdidntsay is the value to use in the sort :)

Sorry the answer is a bit vague, but the question is a bit vague too.
