Ah, it appears that every info element in your source has its own Row. So 
they are getting sorted -- the single info in each Row is sorted among its 
siblings (of which there are none).

So try this:

<xsl:template match="HelloWorld">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="Row">
    <xsl:sort select="info/date" order="descending"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Row">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

I hadn't looked closely enough at your data, so I caught the wrong error 
(they are both common). Sorry!

Good luck,
Wendell
