So you have several worksheets.

How many rows do you have on each input worksheet?
How many rows do you want on each of the output worksheets?
Do all worksheets have the same number of rows?
Do you want all rows output on a single worksheet?

I guess I should have explained a little better. I want I want to sort all 
the elements with in ALL worksheets (NOT JUST BY EACH worksheet 's Cell 
values). please check the example

Consider this input XML:
-------------------------------
<?xml-stylesheet  type="text/xsl" href="excelsort.xsl" ?>
<?mso-application progid='Excel.Sheet'?>
<s:Workbook xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" 
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" 
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
  <s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample1">
    <s:Table>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">B</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">C</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
    </s:Table>
  </s:Worksheet>
  <s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample2">
    <s:Table>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">D</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">A</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
    </s:Table>
  </s:Worksheet>
</s:Workbook>
--------------------------
The output I wanted is:
<?xml-stylesheet  type="text/xsl" href="excelsort.xsl" ?>
<?mso-application progid='Excel.Sheet'?>
<s:Workbook xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" 
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" 
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
  <s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample1">
    <s:Table>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">A</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">B</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
    </s:Table>
  </s:Worksheet>
  <s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample2">
    <s:Table>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">C</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">D</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
    </s:Table>
  </s:Worksheet>
</s:Workbook>
------------------------------
Please NOTE: the text in <s:Data s:Type="String"></s:Data> for each of the 
worksheets re-ordered and need to be sorted accross all worksheets in 
workbook. Yes, the one you posted does WORK...but only WITH IN worksheet 
nodes. Thanks for your time. Appreciate your help

Thanks
Ram
