Your temporary tree doesn't contain any Name elements. In fact it doesn't
contain any elements at all - it's all text. Perhaps by <xsl:value-of> you
meant <xsl:copy-of>?

A good way of debugging these things is to put in a

<xsl:copy-of select="$sortedErrorMessage"/>

to see what the tree looks like.
