No, I meant I can't imagine what the intended semantic was.
It's clear that the specified behaviour is an error, and it's not as if
there is an "obvious" non-error meaning.

The issue I raised initially (before Jarno pointed out that your
stylesheet should not run at all). Unless you have specified
xsl:strip-space you are sorting on the amount of indentation space used
in your elements.

Also you probably want to use
	<xsl:apply-templates select="object">
rather than 
	<xsl:apply-templates>

as otherwise (again unless you are using strip-space) you will select
all the inter-element space (and sort all this space together at the
start of the list)
