ok.

If this is the XML with previously missing root-elements

<Documents>
       <Document title="1" chapter="i" href="file1.xml" filter="food">
               <Article title="1.1" info="sub" filter="drink" state="1"/>
               <Article title="1.2" info="main" filter="food" state="3"/>
			   <Article title="1.3" info="main" filter="drink" state="2"/>
       </Document>
       <Document title="2" chapter="ii" href="file2.xml" filter="drink">
               <Article title="2.1" info="main" filter="drink" state="1"/>
               <Article title="2.1" info="sub" filter="drink" state="3"/>
               <Article title="2.2" info="main" filter="food" state="2"/>
       </Document>
       <Document title="3" chapter="1" href="file2.xml" filter="">
               <Article title="3.1" info="sub" filter="drink" state=""/>
               <Article title="3.2" info="child" filter="" state="8"/>
       </Document>
       <Document title="4" chapter="2" href="file2.xml" filter="">
               <Article title="3.1" info="sub" filter="drink" state=""/>
               <Article title="3.2" info="main" filter="food" state="1"/>
       </Document>
</Documents>


could this be correct XSLT for my output. Could you check it? It runs
very slow for some reason.

<xsl:template match="/">
<Documents>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="Documents/Document[Article/@info = 'main']"/>
</Documents>
 </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="Document">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
     <xsl:for-each select="Article[@info = 'main']">
       <xsl:sort select="@state" data-type="number"/>
       <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

thanx.

Mike
