I suspect you need to turn the result tree fragment from your first pass
into a node set in pure xslt this isn't possoible but most systems have
a node-set extension function in their extension namespace to do this.
Certainly IE (MSXML3) does, as does saxon, xalan, xt. Not sure about
libxslt.


(It is possible to process nodes in sorted order without using an
extension function but you have to work considerably harder)
