Yes I am using XSLT2 (albeit very poorly understood). Will try your
suggestion.
Padding leading zero's to sort and then removing them seems like a bad
idea when you can just sort twice, once using data-type number and
then again using text, extracting the relevant part of the value each
time, eg:
<xsl:sort select="replace(., '\s\D*', '')" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:sort select="replace(., '\d*\s', '')" data-type="text"/>
Otherwise you will need to pick a suitably large number of zeros to
pad and hope a longer number never appears, or find the maximum length
for all the numbers up front...
