Subject: xsl:sort working for xsl:for-each but not for xsl:apply-templates

xsl sort following sibling
Hi everyone. Please take a look to the xml and xsl and let me know what I am
missing ... When I use as in the example below xsl:apply-templates I always
get as result "Start","MotoGP 1" no matter how the sorting order is defined.
If I use xsl:for-each the sort works .... 

Thanks in advance
Nestor

Hi,

Playing around with 'xsl:apply-templates' and 'xsl:copy' can do the trick  
(there are plenty of other ways too)

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/Object">
	<Root>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="*[1]"/>
	</Root>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/Object/*">
	<xsl:copy/>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::Object/*[1]"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::Object/*[1]"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


But I do wonder why the wanted output is not like this:
<Root>
	<HeaderTag>
		<OuterTag>
			<InnerTag/>
		</OuterTag>
		<InnerTag/>
		<OuterTag>
			<OuterTag>
				<InnerTag/>
			</OuterTag>
			<InnerTag/>
		</OuterTag>
	</HeaderTag>
</Root>
