RE: Sort on multiple key

Jan, I believe that preceding:: applies to document order, not sort order, so
this isn't going to work. If you need to group things by keys, and you're
stuck w/ XSLT 1.0, look up Jeni Tennison's helpful page on Muenchian
groupings.

Subject:  Sort on multiple key

I have the xml below which needs to be sorted into key1 key2 order.
I can sort it in key1 order ok but can't get the key2 order. I tried
this but it doesn't work.
I then need to be able to process the sorted xml by element.
Can you tell me where I'm going wrong please.
