The default value for the parameter sortAmount, if none is given, is a possibly sorted sequence of highlight elements; if a value is supplied, no sorting is done. At the very least i'd suggest using <xsl:param name="sortAmount" as="element(highlight)*"> . . . </xsl:param> Don't try to reuse variables/parameters - if a parameter sometimes means one thing and sometimes means something else, use two different parameters, and, if necessary, a third to say which meaning is intended.
