You could sort first and then use the existing algorithm on the sorted 
nodes. However that does only work with XSLT 1.0 if the processor 
supports an extension function to convert a result tree fragment into a 
node-set. Firefox 3.0, Opera 9, IE 6 and later can do that, earlier 
version not I think. Does that help for your application?

Here is an adapted example:
http://home.arcor.de/martin.honnen/xslt/test2009011502.xml
http://home.arcor.de/martin.honnen/xslt/test2009011502Xsl.xml
the stylesheet checks whether a node-set extension function is supported 
and if so sorts on the 'bar' element number value, then applies the 
other templates after using the extension function.

I tested that the sorting works on Windows with Firefox 3.0, IE 7, Opera 
9.6 and Safari 3.2.
