I am trying to do a sort based on a parameter which I can do ok with the following sort statement: That's no surprise, format-number returns a number, and you add a predicate and use it as operand for the '|' operator, both of which requires node sets. There are several possiblities to solve this. One is to use the the computed percentage as secondary sort key and assure the first sort key sorts each entry the same way: <xsl:sort select="server_name[$sort='server_name'] | nds_name[$sort='nds_name'] | short_name[$sort='short_name'] | total_space[$sort='total_space']| /[$sort='percent']" order="{$order}" data-type="{$dtype}"/> <xsl:sort select="format-number((number(used_space[$sort='percent']) div number(total_space))*100,'0')" order="{$order}" data-type="{$dtype}"/> This may be slow, depending on the sort implementation of your processor. Another possiblity is to use a two stage approach, first copying the source, thereby enriching the records with a field for the percentage, then processing the sorted intermediary result. This requires an extension function and might use a lot of additional memory. J.Pietschmann XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
