There's no sorting capability in XPath, sadly. You can do it in XSLT using
xsl:perform-sort, but it's still more lines of code than I would like,
unfortunately!

Somehow I was afraid that was the answer -- it gave off the whiff of an issue that was hotly discussed in committee until the day came when a decision had to be made, one way or the other.


Fortunately, we do have XSLT (thanks for the tip on xsl:perform-sort) -- plus here comes Dimitre. :->

Cheers,
Wendell
