Assuming you have a container element X, ie

<X>
    <nodeType1 att='thing1'>
    <nodeType2 att='thing2'>
    <nodeType3 att='thing3'>
</X>

Then you could have

<xsl:template match="X">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="nodeType1|nodeType2|nodeType3">
        <xsl:sort select="@att1"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="nodeType1">...</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="nodeType2">...</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="nodeType3">...</xsl:template>

I haven't tested it, but I think it should work.
