xslt sort
Im trying to sort a large XML document. I used this XSLT before but it takes a very long time to sort a big document, with big I mean around 16 000 lines.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>


<xsl:template match="Katalog">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Person">
<xsl:sort select="@enamn"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Person">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I heard that it possible to get better performance if I put the nodes in a key and sorted on the key. Its that Im trying to achive. Do you know how its possible to get better performance? Im using MSXML and the method transformeNodeToObject.

key('mykey',.) selects all the elements that have a value for mykey equal to
the value of the context node. So this will do exactly what you describe:
each time you hit the value X, it will output one copy of each node whose
value is X.

I don't know what you're trying to achieve by using a key here.
