Dear Developer.

I have a problem with the sequence of expressions:

<xsl:for-each select="id(@...)">
<xsl:sort select="@..."/>
...
</xsl:for-each>

namely output of <xsl:sort> isn't correct.

For example this part of a XML-File.
It is generated from one workflow tool and describes a hierarchy of activity in 
a workflow.
The Attribute Action.key is a number of activity and comes of workflow tool.

...
<iemStateDescriptions State.name="ABC" State.ID="ID162.0.2" Action.key=".2.1" 
State.slave="ID201.0.2 ID223.0.2 

ID224.0.2 ID225.0.2 ID227.0.2 ID420.0.2 ID537.0.2 ID534.0.2 ID772.0.2 
ID514.0.2" State.master="ID389.0.2">
...
<iemStateDescriptions State.name="XYZ" State.ID="ID201.0.2" Action.key=".2.1.3" 
State.master="ID162.0.2"/>
...

I would like to now copy the hierarchy of activity recursively in the HTML:
...
<xsl:value-of select="@Action.key"/>
<xsl:value-of select="@State.name"/>
<xsl:for-each select="id(@State.slave)">
<xsl:sort select="@Action.key"/>
<xsl:call-template name="itself"/>
</xsl:for-each>
...

I tried it out with xalan-j_2_3_1 and xalan-j_2_4_D1 and output was false:

2.3 State Name
2.5 State Name
2.7 State Name 
2.1 ABC 
2.1.3 XYZ 
2.1.2 State Name 
2.1.1 State Name 
2.4 State Name 
2.9 State Name 
2.6 State Name 
2.2 State Name 
2.8 State Name

But with old xalan.jar file from 01.03.2002 is the output correct:  

2.1 ABC 
2.1.1 State Name 
2.1.2 State Name 
2.1.3 XYZ 
2.2 State Name 
2.3 State Name 
2.4 State Name 
2.5 State Name 
2.6 State Name 
2.7 State Name 
2.8 State Name 
2.9 State Name

Every newer xalan.jar both in xalan_j_2_3_1 and in xalan-j_2_4_D1 works not 
correct.

With best greetings
