  <xsl:template match="document">
...
    <xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
      <!--
            Avoid the first two nodes occuring in document order.
            They have already been address above.
      -->
      <xsl:if test="position() > 2">
        <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>

You're applying templates to all the child nodes after the second, and then
you're applying templates to all the child nodes that are products. These
categories presumably overlap. I haven't followed what you're trying to
achieve, but this looks very odd.

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>
