Hi Sylvia,

xsl:sort works on the for-each that precedes it, not on the 
apply-templates that follows it. So this code will sort the addressbook 
elements, instead of the address elements. That's why they appear in 
input-document order. Try replacing the above snippet with something like:

<xsl:for-each select="addressbook">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="address">
      <xsl:sort select="age" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>

HTH,
Anton
