One can use either of the following FXSL functions:
f:qsort()
or
f:xsltSort()
The first one is simpler to use.

Hey,
Is there a way I overlooked in XPath to sort a sequence of numbers?
I'm pondering how to pull distinct values from a list, say
(0,3,17,4,6,4,3) and get them in sorted order. distinct-values() in
Saxon returns me (0,3,17,4,6) but I'd like them as (0,3,4,6,17).
I did manage to do it in XSLT by grouping them by value, sorting the
groups, writing out the grouping keys and then tokenizing the
resulting string -- but that seems like a long way to do it.
Any ideas for a spiffy short way?
Cheers,
Wendell
