[xsl] Problem sorting Elements when using the document() function

["Dominic Lisi" <platapusman2000@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

i have this problem, when i try to sort elements which are comming from 
external files.
the situation is as follows:

i have a masterfile.xml which contains multiple tags like the following:

<taxpayer file="A004.xml" id="A004"/>

the file reference links to an XML file which contains all the individuals 
data for example:

<taxpayer id="A004">
   <name>
       <family>Random_1</family>
       <given>Made_Uo_Dude</given>
   </name>
</taxpayer>

i have no trouble getting the information out of the multiple Xml files 
using the following code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
   <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
       <alpha_list>
           <xsl:apply-templates select="list"/>
       </alpha_list>
   </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="taxpayer">

 <xsl:variable name="taxfile">
<xsl:value-of select="@file"></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:variable>
 <person>
 <xsl:apply-templates><xsl:sort data-type="text" 
select="/name"/></xsl:apply-templates>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="document(concat($taxfile,''))//family"/>
 </person>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


just wondering if any1 has any pointers/solutions to this sorting of remote 
data :\

thanks
