Your stylesheet doesn't match your input document. You left out several layers of nested elements.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-16" />

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="s:Workbook">
      <s:Workbook xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
          xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
          xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">
        <xsl:apply-templates />
      </s:Workbook>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="s:Worksheet">
      <s:Worksheet>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
      </s:Worksheet>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="s:Table">
      <s:Table>
        <xsl:for-each select="s:Row">
          <xsl:sort select="s:Cell/s:Data" />
          <xsl:copy-of select="." />
        </xsl:for-each>
      </s:Table>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
