Thank you for the guidance Rashmi and David,
I seem to not be able to wrap my head around how the XSLT processor
works, I will be doing some reading and then getting back at this
problem.
Thanks again,
Max Bronsema

xsl:sort have to be direct children of xsl:for-each (or

Just put the test on your select predicate or outside the xsl:apply-templates
It's a bit hard to show exactly what you need to do as I think you over
trimmed your stylesheet, but in general rather than
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:if test="something">
<xsl:sort ..../>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:apply-templates>
do either
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[something]>
<xsl:sort.../>
</xsl:sort>
or
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="something">
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:sort ..../>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:otherwise>
depending on what you want to do if the predicate is false (no output,
or no sorting, respectively)

Which version of XSLT/XPATH? I dont think you can compare dates with >
in XPATH1.0
You can't nest xsl:sort inside xsl:if.
xsl:if can only be nested under <xsl:apply-templates> and <xsl:for-each>
I think if you represent dates in the standard format for example:
2005-05-07T19:30:00 instead of 05/07/2005 you can simply sort dates
without having to extract the substrings of year, month and day with
reference to the code snippet you have provided.
like this:
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:sort select="date"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
