Details
The sort criteria are specified using xsl:sort elements as children of xsl:perform-sort, in the
usual way.
It's often useful to use xsl:perform-sort inside a stylesheet
function; the function can return the sorted sequence as its result, and can be
invoked directly from an XPath expression.
