why does Thunderbird always messes with my XSLT like that? It looked much prettier before posting... Here's a new try of the core part:

<xsl:sort select="matches(., '\s*seite', 'i')" order="descending" />
<xsl:sort select="not(matches(., '^\d+$'))" order="ascending" />
<xsl:sort select="replace(., '\D', '')" order="ascending" data-type="number" />



note that technically the last line is semantically equivalent with the last line posted by Michael (and my order="ascending" is redundant):


<xsl:sort select="number(replace(., '[^0-9]', ''))"/>
