[xsl] sort / unsort

["McKeever, Marty" <marty.mckeever@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting problem, i've been wracking my brain to solve.

>From a group of nodes, output the first five in a sorted order, and dump the
remainder in document order.

that is:
	<foo>I</foo>
	<foo>F</foo>
	<foo>E</foo>
	<foo>D</foo>
	<foo>A</foo>
	<foo>C</foo>
	<foo>B</foo>
	<foo>H</foo>
	<foo>G</foo>

would output:
	<foo>A</foo>
	<foo>B</foo>
	<foo>C</foo>
	<foo>D</foo>
	<foo>E</foo>
	<foo>I</foo>
	<foo>F</foo>
	<foo>H</foo>
	<foo>G</foo>
note that only the first 5 are sorted.
the remainder are in document order - less the 5 sorted items.

TIA,
Marty
