I think you are trying too hard. Dumping the contents of a XML document is what <xsl:copy-of> is for.
Try this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xslt">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" xalan:indent-amount="4"/>
<xsl:template match="calendar"> <calendar> <!-- also dump calendar attributes if any --> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="event"> <xsl:sort select="date"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </calendar> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="event"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
HTH, Christophe
