I guess I should have explained a little better. I want I want to sort all the elements with in ALL worksheets (NOT JUST BY EACH worksheet 's Cell values). please check the example

Consider this input XML:
-------------------------------
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="excelsort.xsl" ?>
<?mso-application progid='Excel.Sheet'?>
<s:Workbook xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
<s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample1">
<s:Table>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">B</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">C</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
</s:Table>
</s:Worksheet>
<s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample2">
<s:Table>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">D</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">A</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
</s:Table>
</s:Worksheet>
</s:Workbook>
--------------------------
The output I wanted is:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="excelsort.xsl" ?>
<?mso-application progid='Excel.Sheet'?>
<s:Workbook xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
<s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample1">
<s:Table>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">A</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">B</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
</s:Table>
</s:Worksheet>
<s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample2">
<s:Table>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">C</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">D</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
</s:Table>
</s:Worksheet>
</s:Workbook>
------------------------------
Please NOTE: the text in <s:Data s:Type="String"></s:Data> for each of the worksheets re-ordered and need to be sorted accross all worksheets in workbook. Yes, the one you posted does WORK...but only WITH IN worksheet nodes. Thanks for your time. Appreciate your help


Thanks
Ram

With exception of
1) omitting the s:Name attribute on the s:Worksheet element,
2) omitting this processing instruction: <?mso-application progid='Excel.Sheet'?>


the stylesheet I posted produces exactly what you gave as the desired output.

If you add this:

    <xsl:template match="s:Worksheet">
      <s:Worksheet>
      	<xsl:copy-of select="@*" /> <--- Add this element

you will get a copy of any attributes for the s:Worksheet element in the output.

Each worksheet gets its rows sorted based on the string value of the s:Data elements.

If this is not what you want, please state explicitly what it is that you want, or show an example of the output you want. The output generated by the stylesheet I posted does match what you have already given as the desired output, so perhaps you should examine the sample output closely to determine if you have stated the requirement correctly.

Thanks for the quick response. Please note that I am a newbie to xsl and
just trying to get a feel of it. But, with the solution you posted, it sorts
with in the worksheet nodes only. I want to sort all the <s:Data
s:Type="String"></s:Data> elements text with in all the worksheets, so for
example
my input file
-------------------
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?mso-application progid='Excel.Sheet'?>
<s:Workbook xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">
<s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample1">
<s:Table>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">RJTGOVBVHX</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">IEXGTQYSBQ</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
</s:Table>
</s:Worksheet>
<s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample2">
<s:Table>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">WUGRDFHDTV</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
<s:Row>
<s:Cell>
<s:Data s:Type="String">PQFWLWQYQW</s:Data>
</s:Cell>
</s:Row>
</s:Table>
</s:Worksheet>
</s:Workbook>


the output that I want to show is
--------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?mso-application progid='Excel.Sheet'?>
<s:Workbook xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">
  <s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample1">
    <s:Table>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">IEXGTQYSBQ</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">PQFWLWQYQW</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
    </s:Table>
  </s:Worksheet>
  <s:Worksheet s:Name="Sample2">
    <s:Table>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">RJTGOVBVHX</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
      <s:Row>
        <s:Cell>
          <s:Data s:Type="String">WUGRDFHDTV</s:Data>
        </s:Cell>
      </s:Row>
    </s:Table>
  </s:Worksheet>
</s:Workbook>


Thanks Ram
