Which XSLT processor? I think this should work according to the spec, and I think it works in Saxon. > <xsl:sort select="position()" data-type="number" > order="descending"/> > Can anyone explain to me what is going on? > What the spec says (I'm working from memory) is that the select attribute is evaluated with the node being sorted as the current node and the "unsorted set" of nodes as the current node list, so (assuming that "unsorted" means "in document order"), the sort key position() refers to the relative position of the node in document order.
