When defining what to use for sorting, you do so in the context of the nodes
being sorted - so where you have, in both cases:

 	<xsl:sort select="node/rank" data-type="number"  order="ascending"/>

I think you should have

 	<xsl:sort select="rank" data-type="number"  order="ascending"/>

With that change I think your code works fine.
