Oliver, Thanks for your guidance, but this isn't working 100% for me. I can sort the node-set if it is comprised purely of nodes from my xml source tree, but not if it consists entirely of the results of a series of calculations (using count()) done on nodes from the source tree. In other words, I want to put those results into a nodeset and sort them.

Well, you can't sort a node-set because sets are unordered. ;-) What you can do is to process the nodes of a set in a specific order. > I ask because I have not been able to get this to work > (although I can sort nodesets that are not variables). This isn't different from any other expression that evaluates to a node-set. Just do either <xsl:apply-templates select="$set"> <xsl:sort .... /> </xsl:apply-templates> or <xsl:for-each select="$set"> <xsl:sort .... /> .... </xsl:for-each> Hope that helps, Oliver /-------------------------------------------------------------------\ | ob|do Dipl.Inf.
