We had a long thread on sorting uppercase a while back. It turns out that the whole world (including at least some xslt implementors, but not including Stan and me) took a very unreasonable reading of the sorting specification in the XSLT spec. the end result is that you should get "sensible" results in all processors but you will get different results. I think in this case you want a case insensitive sort and its basically english text so.. <xsl:sort select="translate(@level1,'ABC...','abc')"/> etc should give the same result on all systems.
