I'm pretty sure that the XSLT spec requires this kind of sorting (dictionary order). What processor are you using? The spec does clearly specify lexicographic sorting but it appeared in a long thread on this list a few months ago that several implementations (including at least msxml and saxon if I recall) interpreted "lexicographic sorting" to mean "as sorted in a dictionary" which means "sorted in an arbitrary order at the whim of the human lexicographer compiling the dictionary". http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N6461.html#d7250e1394 I think I got most of that thread.
