I think this has been discussed quite often in this list and should probably be well-reflected in the FAQ.

Thanks for pointing that out. Indeed, I always forget about this processing order, and tend to think in terms of result tree order...

I see. Meaning that though it can be processes in any order, the actual order of the output is determined by a certain set of rules, which is based on the original document order and not the order of the xpath in the template or the template itself. And I was always so careful putting the right order for the " | " unioned items ;-)
