[xsl] Simple Sort Problem

[Evan Borysko <evanborysko@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've seen other posts about sorting issues with Xalan, but nothing  
seemed to cover this simple issue. (or at least I think its simple)

I have sample xml and xsl file. In the style-sheet I am attempting to  
sort the result of the 'info' element according to the number in the  
'date' element.   In XMLspy this sort works correctly, but when I  
deploy it on Unix with Apache Xalan it fails to return the document in  
a sorted fashion; instead it just returns it in the order found in the  
xml.

Here is the XML and the style-sheet.
------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="application/xml" href="C:\Program  
Files\Altova\XML Spy Suite\Examples\tran.xsl"?>
<HelloWorld>
	<Row>
		<info xmlns:src="http://xml.apache.org/xindice/Query";  
src:col="/db/Publications/NewsGazette/News" src:key="255459967.xml">
			<title>Three test2.rtf</title>
			<subject>School capacity could dictate growth</subject>
			<author>Sylvia L. Oliande</author>
			<date timestamp="1">1</date>
		</info>
	</Row>
	<Row>
		<info xmlns:src="http://xml.apache.org/xindice/Query";

	<xsl:template match="info">

			<b><xsl:value-of select="title"/></b> - <xsl:value-of

	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks for help!
