At least the reply states important facts. According to the XSLT spec all
advanced sorting support is implementation-defined. So I guess you just have
to try which language codes MSXML supports in your environment. Just create a
good sample file and try several permutations, like

<xsl:sort select="." lang="de-CH" />
<xsl:sort select="." lang="de_CH" />
<xsl:sort select="." lang="de" />

(maybe you have to write the language code as a string in 'quotes')

It would be better to use an XSLT 2 processor in many cases, and if you need
one with good support, Saxon surely is an option.
