| <xsl:sort select="col1;col2"/>

| the parser says that it does not expect a ';'. I tried a ','

List each sort key in it's own <xsl:sort> element.
The first one that appears in document order is
the "primary" sort, the second one that appears
is the "secondary" sort, etc.
<xsl:for-each select="customer-list/customer">
<!-- Sort (alphabetically) on customer @name attr -->
<xsl:sort select="@name"/>
<!-- Sort (numerically, descending) on sum of their orders -->
<xsl:sort select="sum(orders/order/total)"
data-type="number" order="descending"/>
<!-- etc. -->
</xsl:for-each>
