[xsl] trouble with preceding axis

I'm having some trouble using the preceding axis in XPath and would
be much obliged if someone could steer me in the right direction. I
have the following document:
<root>
<item order="3">
<label>Title</label>
</item>
<item order="4">
<label>subTitle</label>
</item>
</root>
I have the following XPath to select the second item, based on the
value of its label child:
//item[label = 'subTitle']
Now I want to modify this so that I refer to the preceding item
element, the first one in the list. I tried the following without
success (it returns the second item element):
//preceding::item[label = 'subTitle']
Suggestions are most welcome on this.
