[xep-support] xsl:sort in apply-templates

[Martin Holmes]

HI there,

For various (complicated) reasons, I wanted to use <xsl:sort> within 
<xsl:apply-templates>, rather than inside an <xsl:for-each> But my main 
problem is that it seems to be sorting all the authors first, then all 
the editors; is there a way to have it combine the two keys (so that if 
there's an editor, it'll use that; otherwise, it'll use the first author)?

Cheers,
Martin
