actually it's surprisingly dificult in pure xslt 1 to sort and process (or query) at the same time. Almost all processors provide a node-set() extension function which makes things much easier. First sort: <xsl:variable name="x"> <xsl:for-each select="question"> <xsl:sort... <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:variable> Now $x is essentially your sorted list and in xslt2 (or xslt 1.1 draft) you'd be able to apply templates to that, but in xslt1.0 it's a result tree fragment that can be copied to the output but not queried. But assuming you have x:node-set() in your processors extension namespace you can do <xsl:apply-templates select="x:node-set($x)/question"/> and then the previous question is just preceding-sibling::question[1] as usual as your (new) input is sorted.
