RE: [xsl] XSL month sorting (chronologically)

You need to use different quotes inside the attribute: change
        <xsl:sort
select="string-length(substring-before("JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec
",
substring("date",4,3))"  data-type="number" />

to

        <xsl:sort
select="string-length(substring-before('JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec
',
substring(date,4,3))"  data-type="number" />

note also the removal of quotes around "date".
