I'm pretty sure that the XSLT spec requires this kind of sorting
(dictionary order). What processor are you using?
The spec does clearly specify lexicographic sorting but it
appeared in a
long thread on this list a few months ago that several
implementations
(including at least msxml and saxon if I recall) interpreted
"lexicographic sorting" to mean "as sorted in a dictionary"
which means "sorted in an arbitrary order at the whim of the human
lexicographer compiling the dictionary".

I think I got most of that thread.
