Sorry. You are right. I mistook ignorance for arrogance.

Er, ah, what makes you presume that Chris assumed that this is based
on "U.S. terminology"? He clearly said that he thinks this is "pretty
much standard throughout the world". If you believe that he is
mistaken, you could have just as easily said that you disagree and
tell him what you think is either more common or what is within your
experience.
While I am constantly abashed at the arrogance of my government, and
sometimes saddened by the attitudes of my fellow countrymen, I cannot
help but view your representation of your own countrymen as somewhat
negative.
Shouldn't we, those of us trying to deal with XSLT as learners and
mentors, just chill a little bit and give one another some benefit of
the doubt?
Hope this helps,
Jim

Based on +what+ assumption did you think we outside the US would know
this?
Do you assume the entire world's education systems would be based on
U.S. terminology?
... if you don't know what the scale is in the UK, why should we be
expected to know what it is in the US?

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
