Xsl:sort not sorting

Question

I tried the example of John Butler.
Source:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?><SortTest>
<SortKey>Allergens</SortKey> <SortKey>Muscle, Skeletal</SortKey> <SortKey>Food Handling</SortKey> <SortKey>Muscle Contraction</SortKey> <SortKey>allergen Blo t 5</SortKey> <SortKey>Food</SortKey> <SortKey>Food Hypersensitivity</SortKey> <SortKey>Muscle</SortKey>
</SortTest>
and XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" default-space="strip"> <xsl:output indent="no" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="SortTest"> <xsl:element name="{name(.)}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="SortKey"> <xsl:sort order="ascending" data-type="text" case-order="upper-first" select="."/> </xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:element> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="SortKey"> <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
and get the (unsorted!) output
<SortTest>
<SortKey>Allergens</SortKey>
<SortKey>Muscle, Skeletal</SortKey>
<SortKey>Food Handling</SortKey>
<SortKey>Muscle Contraction</SortKey>
<SortKey>allergen Blo t 5</SortKey>
<SortKey>Food</SortKey>
<SortKey>Food Hypersensitivity</SortKey>
<SortKey>Muscle</SortKey>
</SortTest>
How do I get XSL:SORT to work?
