[xsl] sorting issue

---

---

Recently submitted a post requesting help with sorting. my situation is still the same. i am merging many documents. i get the sort to work but not correctly. it appears to be looking at only the first node of each file and sorting the files according to the first node. i need to sort each individual file first. then merge the sort of all file, or sort each file then merge all.

mastermerge.xsl
