Thanks all...this list is a huge help!
Incidentally, the last two you proposed do work, Scott. The first
does not. I've updated the template as follows:
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<!-- copy all attributes before applying templates to children only -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()">
<!--<xsl:sort select="- number(name() = 'DictionaryModelDescriptor')"/>-->
<xsl:sort select="- boolean(self::DictionaryModelDescriptor)"/>
<xsl:sort select="@typeName"/>
<xsl:sort select="name(.)"/>
<xsl:sort />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
