XSLT sorting not working

[srvadali]

HiI am trying to sort xml using xslt. But some how xslt is not sorting the xml. Here is my xslt ===========

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">			<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>			<xsl:template match="RES">						<xsl:copy>									<xsl:apply-templates>												<xsl:sort select="/GSP/RES/R/T"/>									</xsl:apply-templates>						</xsl:copy>			</xsl:template>			<xsl:template match="R">						<xsl:copy>									<xsl:apply-templates>												<xsl:sort select="T"/>									</xsl:apply-templates>						</xsl:copy>			</xsl:template>			<xsl:template match="/">						<xsl:apply-templates/>			</xsl:template>			<xsl:template match="*">						<xsl:copy>									<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>						</xsl:copy>			</xsl:template>			<xsl:template match="@* | text()">						<xsl:copy/>			</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

Here is my xml ===========

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><GSP VER="3.2">			<RES SN="1" EN="10">						<R>									<T>3</T>									<seeta>test</seeta>						</R>						<R>									<T>2</T>									<seeta>test</seeta>						</R>						<R>									<T>1</T>									<seeta>test</seeta>						</R>						<R>									<T>4</T>									<seeta>test</seeta>						</R>			</RES></GSP>

Expected result is =============

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><GSP VER="3.2">			<RES SN="1" EN="10">						<R>									<T>1</T>									<seeta>test</seeta>						</R>						<R>									<T>2</T>									<seeta>test</seeta>						</R>						<R>									<T>3</T>									<seeta>test</seeta>						</R>						<R>									<T>4</T>									<seeta>test</seeta>						</R>			</RES></GSP>

I would do it like this:

<xsl:stylesheet  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"  version="1.0">    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>    <xsl:template match="@* | node()">	<xsl:copy> 	  <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>	</xsl:copy>  </xsl:template>    <xsl:template match="RES">	<xsl:copy>	  <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>	  <xsl:apply-templates select="R">		<xsl:sort select="T" data-type="number"/>	  </xsl:apply-templates>	</xsl:copy>  </xsl:template>  </xsl:stylesheet>
