I recently used the <xsl:sort> which is really convenient. Also, you may
want to load up your XML into a DOMDocument object in JavaScript globally
scoped. This keeps the metadata in cache and lightning fast to resort on
the client. I also dynamically set the attributes on the <xsl:sort> via
DOM and then rerun the transform which allows me to sort on as many criteria
as I like.
