subject in unusual order
I'd be very surprised if those were standard terms all around the world, 
especially in countries where English is not the native language. Also, 
when I looked up "Sophomore" (note the spelling, by the way) in two 
different dictionaries, they both mentioned that it was a term used in the 
United States (implying that it is not used elsewhere).

FWIW

RE:  Unusual Sort






Is this not pretty much standard throughout the world or atleast common
knowledge?   The order is Freshman, Sophmore, Junior, Senior, Graduate. 
For
Highschool, numerically that would be grade 9,10,11,12.  What's the uk
scale?

  I haven't tried.. But this should create a problem for 'S'ophmore and
  'S'enior..right?

Well there wasn't a Senior in the example you tried (and I have no idea 
what
the possible grades are, or in what order they are, these names don't seem
to have made it into english english:-)

If Sophmore comes after Senior you are fine as 
Bophmore comes after Benior
but if you want them in the other order:

<xsl:sort select="translate('FSJo','ABCa',grade)"/>

Then

Baphmare comes before Beniar

so Sophmore would then sort before 'Senior
