Tank you for your answer. This sorts my XML as I asked. But what I realy
wanted (I was not realy clear about this)
was a HTML output like below. All nodes with the same tag <place> should
be printed in a group, with the <place> as heading.
Also thank you for the link to Jeni Tennison touturials, its a great
page. I tryed to make a code from that but I cant get it to work,
and I'm new to this SXL thing. My XML- and XSL-file looks like this at
the moment:

The printout for this should be sorted by <place> like this:
Kyl och frys:
Lax 8 st
Grddde 1,2 l
Frukt och grvnt:
Chalottenlvk 4 st
Vvrigt:
Matlagningsvin 0,66 l
It would be easier to understand if you give what output xml you are
looking for.
you can try:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<!-- default identity translation -->
<xsl:template match="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- start processing with the root element -->
<xsl:template match="shopinglist">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="item">
<xsl:sort select="place"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It will reorder the source xml item elements according to the "place"
