Re: [xsl] Accessing every second node, extract and sort their elements and then not copy the node name

Some stylesheet code and example select statements would have made
figuring out what you want much easier, but I think you want something
like:

<xsl:apply-templates select="/*/*/*" >
        <xsl:sort select="@GroupNumber" />
        <xsl:sort select="@ElementNumber" />
</xsl:apply-templates>

This selects all elements on the third level, that is, all childnodes of
"every second node", imho better indicated as "nodes on the third level".

But what do you mean with

> without copy the name of the second element name.

?

Simply copying the selected nodes to the result document is done with:
<xsl:template match="/*/*/*">
        <xsl:copy>
                <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
        </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

One can achieve this with a for-each loop too, but that isn't the
declarative XSLT way.
