RE: generic sort based on attribute names

Thanks Joris,
This solution works correctly. However, performance is taking a hit. I
want to apply this transformation to large XML files (in the order of
10MB). I tried various XML parsers (MSXML, Saxon, XALAN, JAXP), but none
of them perform acceptably (the CPU and memory, both are pinned and the
application does not respond).
Any performance tips?
Thanks

Oops, little mistake in the predicate:

should have been:
<xsl:sort
