Oleg,
Thanks for that, I will give it a try.
Someone else has suggested that I change
<xsl:for-each select="$columntitles">
<TD><xsl:value-of
select="$samples[./label=$columntitles/label]/displayval"/></TD>
</xsl:for-each>
to
<xsl:for-each select="$columntitles">
<TD><xsl:value-of select="$samples[./label=current()/label]/displayval"/></TD>
</xsl:for-each>
and that seems to have worked but I will try the sorting as well to see which
gives me the best performance.
Thanks for your help,
Nick

You don't understand. In your example first row contains of "sample 1", but
second one contains "Sample 1" (note case). That's why label=current()/label
doesn't work. If you change "sample 1" to "Sample 1" it works.
Thought: Is it possible to do a sort within each row so that they are all
in the same order, alphabetical order perhaps?
Sure. Something like
<xsl:for-each select="samples">
<xsl:sort data-type="text" select="label"/>
<TD>
<xsl:value-of select="displayval"/>
</TD>
</xsl:for-each>
