Of course—I should have been able to remember that, although it is not exactly obvious.
Thanks for the function—that definitely makes it clearer what the intent is.

[External Email] Hi Eliot, As a generalized solution (for an arbitrary number of inputs), you can attach a self::node() step (or a simple context item expression "."): ($nodes1, $nodes2, $nodes2)/self::node() The resulting expression will be evaluated as path, and the result will be brought into distinct document order. We’ve added a function for that to make the clean/sort operation more explicit [1].
