Yes, this doesn't enable you to use preceding-sibling; what it does do is to enable you to create a variable whose value is a sorted sequence of nodes, each of which retains its original owner and children, etc, without copying the nodes; you can then process this sequence using a variety of new XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 constructs that make it unnecessary to use preceding-sibling. IIRC correctly, though, your problem was a grouping problem in which case you can probably solve it directly using XSLT 2.0's for-each-group construct. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
