Even with the change Xalan still outputs the wrong order
Ah, it appears that every info element in your source has its own Row. So
they are getting sorted -- the single info in each Row is sorted among its
siblings (of which there are none).
So try this:
<xsl:template match="HelloWorld">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Row">
<xsl:sort select="info/date" order="descending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Row">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
I hadn't looked closely enough at your data, so I caught the wrong error
(they are both common). Sorry!
Good luck,
Wendell
