If you know that the node you want is the first one, just pass it to the apply-templates.
Change:
  <xsl:apply-templates select="msxsl:node-set($sortedNumbers)/inorder" />
To:
  <xsl:apply-templates select="msxsl:node-set($sortedNumbers)/inorder[1]" />

Hello,

I want to add some values and then find the maximum
result. The addition is fine but then I try to sort
the results and look at the "last()" one, my output is
just  all the sums, rather than the max value.
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Donal.
I have the following XML input
<data var0='tpop' var1='bpop'>
<ratios>
 <teensRatio>0.2</teensRatio>
 <babiesRatio>0.3</babiesRatio>
 <infantsRatio>0.1</infantsRatio>
</ratios>
<ratios>
 <teensRatio>0.1</teensRatio>
 <babiesRatio>0.1</babiesRatio>
 <infantsRatio>0.05</infantsRatio>
</ratios>
<ratios>
 <teensRatio>0.2</teensRatio>
 <babiesRatio>0.15</babiesRatio>
 <infantsRatio>0.1</infantsRatio>
</ratios>
etc;
</data>

my output is 
<max>0.5</max>
<max>0.2</max>
<max>0.35</max>

I would like

<max>0.5</max>

This the stylesheet.

<xsl:template match="data">
<xsl:variable name="multiSum">
 <xsl:for-each select="ratios">
   <xsl:variable name="r0">
     <xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="$var0='tpop'">
	  <xsl:value-of select="teensRatio"/>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="$var0='bpop'">
	  <xsl:value-of select="babiesRatio"/>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="$var0='ipop'">
	  <xsl:value-of select="infantsRatio"/>
	</xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable name="r1">
     <xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="$var1='tpop'">
	  <xsl:value-of select="teensRatio"/>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="$var1='bpop'">
	  <xsl:value-of select="babiesRatio"/>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="$var1='ipop'">
	  <xsl:value-of select="infantsRatio"/>
	</xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <number><xsl:value-of select="$r0 + $r1"/></number>
 </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="msxsl:node-set($multiSum)/number" />
</xsl:template>
	
<xsl:template match="number">
  <xsl:variable name="sortedNumbers">
  <xsl:for-each select=".">
    <xsl:sort data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
      <inorder><xsl:copy-of select="."/></inorder>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:apply-templates
select="msxsl:node-set($sortedNumbers)/inorder" />
</xsl:template>
		
<xsl:template match="inorder">
 <xsl:for-each select="number">
   <xsl:if test="position()=last()">
     <max><xsl:value-of select="."/></max>
   </xsl:if>
 </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
