Here is the definition of for-each in XSLT 1.0:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#for-each>
Where do you see an order-by attribute there?

If you want to sort then you need to use e.g.
<xsl:for-each select="customer[substring(@customer_name,1,1)
= $FirstLetter]">
<xsl:sort select="@customer_name" />
</xsl:for-each>

See <http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#sorting>.
