There are plans to add such features to the core of XForms. In the
meantime, if your implementation allows it, you could use extension
functions as a temporary solution:

  <model functions="sort:bubble">
    <instance src="http://www.somedata.com/x.xml" />
    <bind id="nsSorted" nodeset="sort:bubble(/a/b, order)" />
  </model>
  .
  .
  .
  <select1 ref="order">
    <label>What order ...</label>
    <item>
      <label>Ascending</label>
      <value>asc</value>
    </item>
    <item>
      <label>Descending</label>
      <value>desc</value>
    </item>
  </select1>

  <repeat bind="nsSorted">
    ...
  </repeat>
