In the rare cases where you can't, call out to a function: compute the sort
key in a separate xsl:function, and call the function in xsl:sort/@select.
so <xsl:sort select="dp:function(fr, fr/@sort)">
That sort of approach?

context is term
I want to sort on fr/@sort
or (if empty)
<xsl:value-of select="(lower-case(substring(fr,1,1)))"/>
error XTSE0010 Within xsl:for-each, xsl:sort elements must come before
other instructions
<xsl:for-each select="term">
<xsl:variable name='sort'>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="fr/@sort">

<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="(lower-case(substring(fr,1,1)))"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

<xsl:sort select="$sort"/>
Any suggestions for a workaround please?
