  by default no. Depending on the locale is IMHO an abomination, and the
I18N zillion different sort depending on the language is also an
abomination, plus the only current implementation (ICU) is a pig
5 times larger than libxslt/xsltproc itself. Eek, no ...

  At the libxslt level, yes. See xsltutils.h:
XSLTPUBFUN void XSLTCALL
                xsltSetSortFunc                 (xsltSortFunc handler);
XSLTPUBFUN void XSLTCALL
                xsltSetCtxtSortFunc             (xsltTransformContextPtr ctxt,
                                                 xsltSortFunc handler);
XSLTPUBFUN void XSLTCALL
                xsltDefaultSortFunction         (xsltTransformContextPtr ctxt,
                                                 xmlNodePtr *sorts,
                                                 int nbsorts);
  and the example code to use it to plug ITU in 
   examples/xsltICUSort.c
in the source distribution.
