Hi,
You get the product template matched twice on each product element.
First time in document order from the for-each/apply-templates and
second time in the correct sorted order from the apply-templates after
the for-each instruction.
Best Regards,
George

George,
Thanks again for your reply and example.
I must be doing something else incorrectly. Let me expand upon my original
question. As for the first half of the XML document, the occurrences of
<paragraph>, <subheader> and <image> elements occur in random order. This
part of the document is presented narratively. However, the second half is
well-structured and data-centric.
Please find below the entire XSLT stylesheet. I removed a great deal of
presentation-related markup in order to avoid clutter. Please note that I
used
<xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph[1]" />
because I wanted present the first paragraph differently from the remain
ones. In the <xsl:for-each> loop I stripped out the presentation markup that
would visually set apart other nodes.
Any way, the focal point is the <xsl:for-each> loop. I suspect my problem
lays with the fact that <xsl:apply-templates> is being used twice.
Again your feedback is most appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, George.
I gave your suggestion a try, but it still does not affect the sort order
of
<product> elements. In the resultant document, they continue to appear in
the orginal XML document order.
Respectfully,
