[xsl] Sorting using an element in a comma delimited string value

[amarjit dot s dot bhullar at accenture dot com]

Hi:
I am trying to sort and group the following xml document. The output result
should be first sorted and grouped using the first element(eg 299) in the
<SupplierPartAuxiliaryID> tag  value 299,472967,3,,,,,. (comma delimited
string) and then sorted by the value from the <SupplierPartID> tag.

I am having problem extracting the first element from the comma delimited
string.

Could someone help me out ?

Thanks
Amarjit

Here is the XML document:
