My need is :

My XML document is big. I create an unordered list of unique values
with this call (the first // is important since the info can be
anywhere in the xml tree) :
<xsl:variable name="unsortedList"
select="//category[(_at_)defid=3183315]//*[(_at_)attid=49]/node()[not(.=following::*)]"
/>
Your first post said you had troubles to sort nodes into a variable, the
problem being "I get is a single node containing all the values sorted
concatenated in a single string". Can you show us the code that causes
that problem?
What you did show in your second post did not even attempt to sort into
a variable and output that sorted variable.
The only problem I see above is that the variable unsortedList could
contain all kind of nodes (e.g. element nodes, text nodes, comment
nodes) and I am not sure sorting such an incoherent node-set makes much
sense.
And as I pointed out in my initial post, if you sort a node-set into a
variable in XSLT 1.0 then you have a result tree fragment. If you want
to apply XPath on a result tree fragment then you first need to apply an
extension function like exsl:node-set to convert the result tree
fragment into a node-set. So that could also be a problem, but you have
not shown us your attempt to sort into a variable and to use that
variable later so I am just guessing.
