why does Thunderbird always messes with my XSLT  like that? It looked 
much prettier before posting... Here's a new try of the core part:

<xsl:sort select="matches(., '\s*seite', 'i')" order="descending"  />
<xsl:sort select="not(matches(., '^\d+$'))" order="ascending"  />
<xsl:sort select="replace(., '\D', '')" order="ascending" 
data-type="number"  />


note that technically the last line is semantically equivalent with the 
last line posted by Michael (and my order="ascending" is redundant):

<xsl:sort select="number(replace(., '[^0-9]', ''))"/>
