Btw, from a previous thread you seemed to be using the much easier translate() version, suggested by Michael Kay: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200703/msg00710.html , i.e.:

<!-- this -->
<xsl:sort select="translate(lastUpdate,'/','')" date-type="number" />

<!-- or this: -->
<xsl:sort select="translate(lastUpdate,'/ ','')" date-type="number" />

something like that.

Why did you change to the more verbose version you have above? Isn't having one xsl:sort statement instead of three easier?
