   <xsl:template name="positionfilter">
   <xsl:param name="sortedlist"/>
   <xsl:param name="totale"/>
   <xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set($sortedlist)/*">
   <xsl:sort select="$totale"/>
   

You've posted dozens of versions of your question but never really said
what transform you are trying to do, please read the list guidelines on
how to construct a question so that people can help.

I don't know what you are trying to do so I can't suggest alternative
code, but it is clear that the above code will not sort the
list. $totale is a parameter passed in to the template so it has a fixed
value (which may be different each time the template is called, but
doesn't change within a given execution of the template) so you are
sorting on a constant value that does not depend on any item in the list
that is being sorted. In this situation that xslt spec guarantees that
the sort is stable and the original node set order will be used.
