@stefan With XSLT and XPath 1.0 the `<` operator does not work for strings, see https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#booleans. For strings you can only do `=` and `!=`. – Martin Honnen Jul 11 '16 at 20:51

XSLT 1.0 has no concept of dates and cannot compare them as such.
However, you can easily convert the given dates to comparable numerical values. For example:
translate($date1, '- :', '') < translate($date2, '- :', '')
will return true.
