Add further sort keys:

      <xsl:for-each select="*">
          <xsl:sort select="empty(X)"/>
          <xsl:sort select="X" order="ascending" data-type="text"/>
          <xsl:sort select="empty(Y)"/>
          <xsl:sort select="Y" order="descending" data-type="text"/>
          <xsl:sort select="empty(Z)"/>
          <xsl:sort select="Z" order="ascending" data-type="number"/>

Note that boolean false() sorts before true().
