> OK, but any union has the same effect of "loosing" the reverse order, > even (preceding-sibling::*|preceding-sibling::*)[1] and that's pure > XPath :-) It's not the union: it's the brackets (preceding-sibling::*[1]) is the nearest sibling (preceding-sibling::*)[1] is teh first sibling. as the parenthesised expression is evaluated as an Xpath value, hence a node set , so [1] then sorts that node set and takes the first, whereas teh first form is a step expression in which the current node list is in reverse order.
