When defining what to use for sorting, you do so in the context of the nodes
being sorted - so where you have, in both cases:
<xsl:sort select="node/rank" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
I think you should have
<xsl:sort select="rank" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
With that change I think your code works fine.

Subject: Re: [xsl] Sorting and re-ordering down a hierarchy
Hi,
I did not see any response on this (except for one who said
he used Perl
instead), so I tried myself.
The templates below, I thought would do what was wanted, but
I only get it
to sort on the 1st level, not on the second level. I do not know why.
Does anybody else have a solution, and can anyone tell me why
my solution
does not work?
Regards,
Ragulf Pickaxe :)
<xsl:template match="/">
<output>
<xsl:apply-templates select="input"/>
</output>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="input">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
<xsl:sort select="node/rank" data-type="number"
order="ascending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node">
<node>
<xsl:copy-of select="rank"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
<xsl:sort select="node/rank" data-type="number"
order="ascending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</node>
</xsl:template>
<input>
<node>
<rank>2</rank>
<node>
<rank>88</rank>
</node>
<node>
<rank>7</rank>
</node>
<node>
<rank>66</rank>
</node>
</node>
<node>
<rank>1</rank>
<node>
<rank>3</rank>
</node>
<node>
<rank>2</rank>
</node>
<node>
<rank>1</rank>
</node>
</node>
</input>
The output I get on this is:
<output>
<node>
<rank>1</rank>
<node>
<rank>3</rank>
</node>
<node>
<rank>2</rank>
</node>
<node>
<rank>1</rank>
</node>
</node>
<node>
<rank>2</rank>
<node>
<rank>88</rank>
</node>
<node>
<rank>7</rank>
</node>
<node>
<rank>66</rank>
</node>
</node>
</output>
