 sorting (again)
Hi, one more sorting question.

Given the XML pasted below...I'm using the following transform to sort
it canonically.  However, I need the "DictionaryModelDescriptor" node
to always be the first node, and then the rest are sorted canonically.
 I tried this, but it does not do what I want.

	<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  		<xsl:copy>
    			<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()">
                                <xsl:sort select="DictionaryModelDescriptor"/>
				<xsl:sort select="@typeName"/>
      				<xsl:sort select="name(.)"/>
      				<xsl:sort />
    			</xsl:apply-templates>
  		</xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>

This one puts it at the top, but now I have a duplicate in the middle

	<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  		<xsl:copy>
                        <xsl:apply-templates
select="DictionaryModelDescriptor"/>
    			<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()">
				<xsl:sort select="@typeName"/>
      				<xsl:sort select="name(.)"/>
      				<xsl:sort />
    			</xsl:apply-templates>
  		</xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>

How can I "move" the DictionaryModelDescriptor node to the top after sorting?

Thanks in advance,
Davis
