Don't know is this is msxml3, but have you tried the following?

<for-each select="book">
	<xsl:sort
		select="@priceMin"
		order="ascending"
		data-type="number"
	/>
</for-each>

Sorry, Microsoft has a different way of sort implementation
I test it
<xsl:for-each select="book" order-by="-number(@priceMin)">
