    xmlns:my="urn:mine" extension-element-prefixes="my">

    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

    <my:priorities>
        <my:p desc="Bed &amp; Breakfast"/>
        <my:p desc="Bed &amp; Breakfast (child)"/>
        <my:p desc="Half Board"/>
        <my:p desc="Half Board (child)"/>
        <my:p desc="Full Board"/>
        <my:p desc="Full Board (child)"/>
    </my:priorities>

    <xsl:variable name="priorities"
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/my:priorities/my:p"/>

    <xsl:template match="/supplements">
        <supplements>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="supp">
                <xsl:sort
select="count($priorities[(_at_)desc=current()/supp-desc]/preceding::*)"/>
            </xsl:apply-templates>
        </supplements>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="supp">
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This will sort the supp elements according to the position in
my:priorities.
Not found supp-desc strings will have priority 0 so they will be first
in output.

Of course you can also put the priorities in a separate file and

select

it like

    <xsl:variable name="priorities"
select="document('priorities.xml')/my:priorities/my:p"/>

Cheers,
Anton

Hi David

Thanks for the answer(s). It is not a straighforward sort. Looking at

in

terms of priority:

Bed &amp; Breakfast          --> priority 1
Bed &amp; Breakfast (child)  --> priority 2
Half Board                           --> priority 3
Half Board (child)           --> priority 4
Full Board                           --> priority 5
Full Board (child)           --> priority 6

All other <supp> nodes are output before the priority ones above (in
document order).

Kind regards.
