Is it possible to sort its Content nodes by the attribute id? I'm expecting the following result
<ScheduleProvider id="257" scheduleDate="2008-03-20T15:34:18Z" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="my.xsd">

<EpgElement key="Actors">Actor1 Actor11</EpgElement>
<EpgElement key="Directors">Director1</EpgElement>
<EpgElement key="Rating">1</EpgElement>
</EpgDescription>
<EpgDescription locale="en_US">
<EpgElement key="Title">Blockbuster-1</EpgElement>
</EpgDescription>
<Media comment="" fileName="Asset_1" format="AV_ClearTS" frameDuration="180000" id="LYS008168695" title="Asset_1">

I've heard about xsl:sort and I played with it a bit. But I have no experience with xslt and I cannot figure out how to use the xsl:sort .
You could try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="ScheduleProvider">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Content">
<xsl:sort data-type="number" select="@id"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Content">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Have you tried <xsl:sort select="id" />
?
