the solution I posted (negating the sort key) doesn't work for non
numeric keys, but the solution Mike posted (which was probably more
sensible anyway) does work here. Just have an initial xsl:sort that is
select="boolean(my_text)"
as that will sort everything as either "true" or "false" depending on
whether my_text selects any nodes. so you can then specify ascending or
descending to control whether the empty case ("false") sorts before or
after the non-empty case ("true")
