After an html table is created with xsl and html, based
on an xml document, what is the best way to sort
value in the columns of the table?

One cannot change the result tree (in your case the HTML result tree) *after* it has been produced by the XSLT processor.

As a stylesheet writer, you are obliged to produce the result tree in result parse order.

Therefore, you must write your stylesheet such that it produces the HTML table in the result tree in the desired sorted order as it is being created.

I hope this helps.
