He probably will but...

 <recordset name="">
     <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="7" Location="WA4135"  />
     <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="5" Location="wA4131"  />
     <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="6" Location="WA4133"  />
     <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="8" Location="wA4136"  />
     <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="9" Location="WA4136"  />
     <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="10" Location="WA4138" />
     <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="11" Location="WA4139" /> 
 </recordset>


<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"

<xsl:template match="recordset">
<xsl:for-each select="row">
<xsl:sort select="@Location" 
  data-type="text" order="ascending" case-order="upper-first"/>
<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>



 $ saxon sort.xml sort.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="5" Location="wA4131"/>
<row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="6" Location="WA4133"/>
<row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="7" Location="WA4135"/>
<row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="9" Location="WA4136"/>
<row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="8" Location="wA4136"/>
<row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="10" Location="WA4138"/>
<row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="11" Location="WA4139"/>


ie it gets the same result as reported for other processors.

I _still_ claim this is a bug though.
