Thanks, everyone, for help with getting my select statement in shape!
I'm now stuck on sorting the elements that I matched from the select
statement.

My XML:

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:for-each select="//menuItem[pageID =
$pageID]/descendant-or-self::menuItem">
		<xsl:sort select="translate(@lastUpdate, '/', '')"
data-type="number"/>
		<xsl:call-template name="createItem" />
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="createItem">
	lastUpdate: <xsl:value-of select="lastUpdate"/>
	browserTitle: <xsl:value-of select="browserTitle"/>
	pageID: <xsl:value-of select="pageID"/>
</xsl:template>

Andrew gave me ths shortened syntax for my SORT command.

The problem is that the above isn't sorting the output. I just get the
items in the order they were in the XML file. Is it because I'm not
sorting the group, but rather each individual node by itself? If so,
where should I move the SORT command to get around that?
