> I have been looking for some examples of the <xsl:sort> use. But I haven't catched any examples how this could be solved. This problem is only cosmetic, because of the precedence attribute. If there are many rules it is more comfortable to read the output file, if it is sorted by the precedence attribute as shown above.

If I understand what should be the result you're after, then this
transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<!-- Global variables -->
<xsl:variable name="vDg" select="'0123456789 '"/>
<xsl:variable name="rule-order">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(/policy-rules/fw-rule-order)"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="vnruleOrder"
select="translate($rule-order, translate($rule-order, $vDg,''), '')"
/>
<xsl:template match="policy-rules">
<policy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="fw-rules/rule">
<xsl:sort data-type="number" select=
"string-length(
substring-before($vnruleOrder,
translate(@name,
translate(@name, $vDg,''),
''
)
)
)"
/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</policy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="fw-rules/rule">
<xsl:variable name="vInDir" select=
"self::*[direction = 'in']"/>
<rule type="{action}">
<src>
<xsl:apply-templates select=
"remote[$vInDir] | local[not($vInDir)]"/>
</src>
<dst>
<xsl:apply-templates select=
"local[$vInDir] | remote[not($vInDir)]"/>
</dst>
</rule>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="local | remote">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the provided xml document (corrected to be well-formed):
<policy-rules>
<fw-rule-order>
fwrule3
fwrule1
fwrule2
</fw-rule-order>
<fw-rules>
<rule name="fwrule1">
<direction>out</direction>
<action>pass</action>
<remote>192.168.129.31</remote>
<local>192.168.129.67</local>
</rule>
<rule name="fwrule2">
<direction>in</direction>
<action>drop</action>
<remote>192.168.129.32</remote>
<local>192.168.129.67</local>
</rule>
<rule name="fwrule3">
<direction>out</direction>
<action>pass</action>
<remote>192.168.129.33</remote>
<local>192.168.129.67</local>
</rule>
</fw-rules>
</policy-rules>
produces the wanted result:
<policy>
<rule type="pass">
<src>192.168.129.67</src>
<dst>192.168.129.33</dst>
</rule>
<rule type="pass">
<src>192.168.129.67</src>
<dst>192.168.129.31</dst>
</rule>
<rule type="drop">
<src>192.168.129.32</src>
<dst>192.168.129.67</dst>
</rule>
</policy>
Hope this helped.
