Thank you Michael,

I'm sorry but I'm quite new to XML and XSL and I know nothing about Saxon
:-) So : XSLT 1.0 and MSXML are a good reply? If yes, that's it.

At least the reply states important facts. According to the XSLT spec all 
advanced sorting support is implementation-defined. So I guess you just have to 
try which language codes MSXML supports in your environment. Just create a good 
sample file and try several permutations, like

<xsl:sort select="." lang="de-CH" />
<xsl:sort select="." lang="de_CH" />
<xsl:sort select="." lang="de" />

(maybe you have to write the language code as a string in 'quotes')

Better to use Saxon for this issue?

It would be better to use an XSLT 2 processor in many cases, and if you need 
one with good support, Saxon surely is an option.
