Thank you all for your helpful replies.
In case anyone is interested I addressed the issue as follows.
<xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
<xsl:if test="position() > 2 and local-name() != 'product'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates select="product">
<xsl:sort select="category" data-type="number" order="descending" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
Respectfully,
ASP

Subject: RE: [xsl] <xsl:sort>
You could use something a prior respondent posted:
Incidentally this could be rewritten
<xsl:template match="document">
...
<xsl:apply-templates select="child::node()[position() > 2]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="child::product">
<xsl:sort.../>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

Enhancing it with:
<xsl:template match="document/*[not(product)]">
/template
<xsl:template match="product[position()=1]">
/template
<xsl:template match="product[position() > 1]">
/template
etc.
The idea is that one or more "main" templates select nodes ... which are
processed by other specifically-matching templates.
Some of these secondary templates, say, the non-product-matching ones which
need to handle varying preamble, could be put into a separate stylesheet,
and imported into this one via <xsl:import/>.
Archives of this ng also show how to apply templates based on a
dynamically-determined criterion.
That said, in my limited experience the advisability of using a single
stylesheet to transform markedly different content is suspect.
