You can store the sorted list in a variable of type result-tree-fragment
without difficulty, as your code shows, but if you want to do further
processing on it you have to convert the r-t-f to a node-set, which can't be
done in standard XSLT. Saxon, xt, and MSXML3, however, provide mechanisms to
do this.
