The best option for this job would be to use the <xsl:eval/> empty tag
along with a small script.  Microsoft has a great working example in
their sort-stocks demo.  There is also a second one in the Extreme XML
archives at Microsoft.

To accomplish your task, there are several xml/xsl elements you should
probably familiarize your self with.  xsl:eval xsl:copy and the 
XML DOM selectSingleNode ("//@order-by"); are all good places to start.
