Thank you all for your helpful replies. In case anyone is interested I addressed the issue as follows. <xsl:for-each select="child::node()"> <xsl:if test="position() > 2 and local-name() != 'product'"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." /> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:apply-templates select="product"> <xsl:sort select="category" data-type="number" order="descending" /> </xsl:apply-templates> Respectfully, ASP -----Original Message----- From: Aron Bock [mailto:aronbock@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2005 5:43 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: <xsl:sort> You could use something a prior respondent posted: >Incidentally this could be rewritten > ><xsl:template match="document"> > ... > <xsl:apply-templates select="child::node()[position() > 2]"/> > <xsl:apply-templates select="child::product"> > <xsl:sort.../> > </xsl:apply-templates> ></xsl:template> > >Michael Kay Enhancing it with: <xsl:template match="document/*[not(product)]"> /template <xsl:template match="product[position()=1]"> /template <xsl:template match="product[position() > 1]"> /template etc. The idea is that one or more "main" templates select nodes ... which are processed by other specifically-matching templates. Some of these secondary templates, say, the non-product-matching ones which need to handle varying preamble, could be put into a separate stylesheet, and imported into this one via <xsl:import/>. Archives of this ng also show how to apply templates based on a dynamically-determined criterion. That said, in my limited experience the advisability of using a single stylesheet to transform markedly different content is suspect.
