I'm not sure if it's an official generic template, but I have a generic
sort function (in fact two of them, but only one works correctly) at
http://redrice.com/xml/sortfunction_0_1.zip

Use sortcall.xslt on sort.xml, selecting the simple sort, to demonstrate
it.

The point is that you provide your own type-specific comparison template
and this gets called from your included sort template. There's a
standard way of calling the sort templates so that you can parameterise
the choice of method. It's quite a neat solution really.

Hope this helps.

Francis.
