One way to achieve that is to change your sort to select="type" (since 
the requested order is strictly alphabetical by type), but from your 
postings subjectline, I think you mean how to sort on several values, 
which is done by adding more xsl:sort values under each other:

<xsl:sort select="@rank" />
<xsl:sort select="type" />
