Thanks,
now my sorting works. Just a short question. I managed to do the sorting in
the root element. I have dates that are B.C. and A.D. and rightly I obtain
the B.C. first and then the A.D. The B.C. are from the earliest to the
oldest, and this is wrong. Should I do something in order that <date
when=“-0004-03”>4-3 B.C.</date> comes before <date when=“-0003”>3 B.C.</date>?
Thanks again.

Chiara,
As I understand it, your question, "do I need to sort, the biblFull or
the titleStmt?", is one we can't answer. This is part of your
requirements specification.
Sort the biblFull elements if you want your bibliography presented in
order of the date given in its entries. Sort the titleStmt if you
expect your biblFull to have more than one titleStmt (will this ever
happen?), and you want their titles sorted by their author dates when
the bibliography is given (in document order).
I think you probably want your bibliography sorted, no?
Wouldn't this be something like (in your template matching the root):
<xsl:apply-templates select=3D"div[@type=3D'bibliography']/biblFull">
<xsl:sort select=3D"descendant::author/date/@when"/>
(etc.)
BTW, the <xsl:value-of select=3D"div[@bibliography]"/> will do nothing
useful, probably nothing at all: it generates a node containing the
string value of a div child (of the matched node, i.e. the root) with
a @bibliography attribute. Such a div is nowhere to be found, as a
child of the root or otherwise.
In general, I think you'll find it is easier to solve this problem if
you reduce it to a smaller one. Rather than adding code that might
(you hope) do what you want, delete everything that doesn't solve this
particular problem (i.e. the order of presentation), solve it, then
build the code back up by adding what else you need.
Cheers, Wendell

I am using Oxygen and XSLT 2.0.
My TEI/XML file is a succession of biblFull elements, which needs to be s=
orted via the attribute of the date element descendant of the author elemen=
t. I should add that there are more then one element with the same author n=
ame and attribute n and with the same date and attributes.
I think I realise that I need to sort select with the attribute of the da=
te element, but at the moment I am struggling to figure out which element I=
need to sort, the biblFull or the titleStmt?

I only managed to create a sort with this XSLT, but I do not sort the ent=
ire biblFull, only the date and the author
<xsl:template match=3D"/">

The last thing I tried to do is to sort inside a biblFull, but I did not =
manage to achieve anything.

<xsl:apply-templates select=3D"descendant::author[@n]">
<xsl:sort select=3D"descendant::date[substring-after(=

<xsl:sort select=3D"descendant::date[substring-after(=

<xsl:sort select=3D"descendant::date[substring-after(=

<xsl:sort select=3D"descendant::date[substring-after(=

<xsl:sort select=3D"descendant::date[substring-after(=
