I am a novice with XSLT. My question is with respect to the child of

from <xsl:call-template> as the sort key?
Perhaps a better way to phrase the question might be this: You can sort on
the value of functions intrinsic to XSL, such as position() or
substring-before() etc. Is it possible to write your own "functions" as xsl
templates, and sort on the value returned from those?
Use a variable?
<xsl:variable name="sortkey">
<xsl:call-template name="foo"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="/some/nodes">
<xsl:sort select="string($sortkey)"/>
