Hi Edith, > I'd like to sort using ItmDesc, but only a substring of it.

How do I do it? What you have should work as long as the ItmDesc elements are children of the elements that you're sorting. You should have something like: <xsl:for-each select="Itm"> <xsl:sort select="substring-after(ItmDesc, '-')" order="ascending" /> ... </xsl:for-each> with the source being something like: <Itm> <ItmDesc>214-Spokane</ItmDesc> </Itm> <Itm> <ItmDesc>534-Hullabaloo</ItmDesc> </Itm> I guess another possibility would be that you might be using the old MSXML namespace rather than the XSLT namespace?
