Help sorting xml to xml

Hi all,

I've been stuck on this issue for a while.  I need to sort elements in
an xml file but have been unable to.  First of all, I'm new to xsl.
But here is the general layout of my xml:

<a>
	<b>
		<c type="period">
			<key>
				<d name="date">2006-09-12 00:00:00.0</d>
			</key>
			...(many other elements, many which have nested elements 6-7 levels
deep)
		</c>
		<c type="period">
			<key>
				<d name="date">2006-09-15 00:00:00.0</d>
			</key>
			...(many other elements, many which have nested elements 6-7 levels
deep)
		</c>
	</b>
</a>

From what I read/understood, with xsl, you have to specify all the
fields you want to copy over to the new xml transformation?  If so,
that's just not an option as there are so many other elements within
the 'c' elements I want to sort by.

What I need to do is find a quick way to sort the 'c' elements by the
'd' element value (date).  Any suggestions/direction would be
appreciated!

Thanks.
