    Hi,
    Actually, your stylesheet does work. When I downloaded your blog-sort.xsl
    and blog.xml files, and applied the stylesheet with xsltproc:

    xsltproc -o sorted.xml blog-sort.xsl blog.xml

    I got a correctly sorted output, with the dates in this order in
    sorted.xml:

    <date>2005-01-01</date>
    <date>2005-07-07</date>
    <date>2005-08-27</date>

    I don't understand why it didn't work for you.
