xsl:number uses the unsorted, "original" xml to number. one possiblity would
be sorting the xml before transforming... but that not possible in my case..

does anyone have a solution?

Well, temporary tree aka result tree fragment? That's obviously not a very effective, but at least simple and clear solution - first sort to the variable, then convert it to a nodeset and process using xsl:number.
