Put the variable and the <xsl:if> inside the <xsl:for-each> loop to get only

Yes, this does the trick.
Further, you can eleminate the variable and maybe also the <xsl:if>, simply
write:
<xsl:for-each select="hbuddhism/entry[translate(dateofentry, '-', '') <
$thismonth]">
<xsl:sort select="lastname"/>
But this is even better, because, as you say, it resolves the next
problem I was going to have to deal with -- making sure the numbering
was being done on the output data only as opposed to the entire data set:
In this case, however, the selected entries are numbered 1, 2, 3, ... by the
position()
function, since only the selected ones are looped through the <xsl:for-each>.
In the first case above, all entries are looped through and numbered with
their
position, and then only the ones with the right date are outputted, so numbers
look like 2, 5, 6, 8, ..., for example.
Thank you!
