Alex,
First of all, someone is going to tell you not to use <for-each>. The rule
has always been "Beginners never use <for-each>". The reason is that what
you want to do is better served (and better XSL) with apply templates. You
are also doing your test in the wrong location...
Try this:
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:template match="/" >
...
<xsl:apply-templates select="Record01[field-C = ' '">
<xsl:sort select="field-A" />
<xsl:sort select="field-B" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
...
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Record01">
<xsl:variable name="ClassName">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 0">C1</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>C2</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:variable>
<TR>
<TD class="{$ClassName}"><xsl:value-of select="field-A"/></td>
<TD class="{$ClassName}"><xsl:value-of select="field-B"/></td>
<TD class="{$ClassName}"><xsl:value-of select="field-C"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
