You haven't said what criteria you want to use for sorting - is it
descending order by category name, or what?
You could get the order c3, c2, c1, by adding
<xsl:sort select="@category" order="descending"/>
immediately after the <xsl:for-each>
You have an xsl:choose with three branches, but they are all the same.
This makes it very difficult to understand what exactly you are trying
to achieve.
