No, sorry.

But why don't you use substring() to converte your dd mm yyyy string to
yyyymmdd and sort on this variable

Oops, I just realised you've mmm. In this case it is not as easy, but
you could use a pure XSLt based lookup to converte your mmm into mm
first, and than use substring to rearange your date.
