xsl:sort select matches more than one

I'd like to sort items in an XML file using XSLT. Say I have

<item><n>Jefferson</n><n>Hancock</n><foo>bar</foo></item>
<item><n>Washington</n><foo>baz</foo></item>
<item><n>Madison</n><n>Adams</n><n>Hamilton</n><foo>blah</foo></item>

and I want to sort the items on the alphabetically first n; i.e., since
Adams is first alphabetically, I want the third item first, etc. Is there
a way to do this?

Thanks,

Michael Hamm
