Your template rule is called once to process each well. You can't sort the
wells within a template that only sees on of them. You can see it's
nonsense, because when you write:

>  	<xsl:for-each select=".">
>  		<xsl:sort select="@WellName"/>

the for-each selects a single node and then tries to sort it!

Move the sort to the corresponding xsl:apply-templates that processes all
the wells.
