My XML:

<xsl:for-each select="//menuItem[pageID = $pageID]/descendant-or-self::menuItem"> <xsl:sort select="translate(@lastUpdate, '/', '')" data-type="number"/> <xsl:call-template name="createItem" /> </xsl:for-each>

<menuItem> <pageID>998</pageID> <browserTitle>District Administration</browserTitle> <lastUpdate>2006/06/06</lastUpdate>

Take a close look at your XML: there is no @lastUpdate. Only a lastUpdate.

To get sorts right, I often employ a very simple and handy trick: use xsl:copy-of with the exact statement as in the xsl:sort, on the same location (just under the sort) in the XSLT. That way, it is easy enough to see that you select nothingness.
