RE: <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.
