How do I sort by [rank] and display [name] with [xsl]?

[volunteer]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="filename.xsl"?>
<markers date="20060523">
04:21:50 PM
<marker sn="1" rank="6" name="john" />
<marker sn="2" rank="5" name="mary" />
<marker sn="3" rank="4" name=suzy" />
</markers>

How do I sort by [rank] and display [name] using [xsl] etc- some help
with drill-down?
Thanks, Lorrie

I guess the best way to learn is to learn by example:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="markers">
<table>
<caption>markers</caption>
<tr>
<th>name</th>
<th>rank</th>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="marker">
<xsl:sort select="@rank" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="marker">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="@rank"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
