You don't:-)
In this version you are not using a for-each or an apply-templates to
construct a current node list which you then process, you are selecting
your items one at a time and moving around the soutce "by hand" with
select="RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse/Items/Item[position()=$ThisRec
ord]/Date" />
so you never (as far as I can see) ever select more than one node at a
time so you can't use xsl:sort.
Most likely the easiest thing to do is sort forst into a temporary
variable
<xsl:variable name="x">
<RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse><Items>
<xsl:for-each
select="RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse/Items/Item"/>
<xsl:sort ...
<xsl:copy-of seelct="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</Items></RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse>
</xsl:variable>
then apply the templates you have got already using
<xsl:apply-templates
select="xx:node-set($x)/RetrieveTransactionHistory2RSResponse"/>
where xx:node-set() is your processors node-set extension function.
