For interest, the XSLT 2.0 version would be:

<xsl:template match="a">
  <a>
    <xsl:for-each-group select="b" group-by="." />
      <xsl:sort select="." />
      <xsl:variable name="rank" select="position()" />
      <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
        <b rank="{$rank}">
          <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </b>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
  </a>
</xsl:template>
