XSL- How to put meta tag as the FIRST tag in the head on XSL

Question

Currently, my XSL Generate html page with some meta tag, css and JS link file in <head> tag. I have added one more after search over Stackoverflow site for Internet Explorer compatibility issue to support Font Awesome icon on compatibility view.

But my XSL generate html as follows-

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-16" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta content="IE=9; IE=8; IE=7; IE=EDGE" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/font-awesome.min.css>
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="images/favicon.ico">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

XSL Source:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"/>
    <xsl:include href="portalheader.xsl"/>
    <xsl:template match="case">
        <html>
            <head>
                <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9; IE=8; IE=7; IE=EDGE" />
                <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
                <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
                <link href="css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
                <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="images/favicon.ico"/>
            </head>
            <body>
            </body>
        </html>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Some stack member suggest me to put the meta tag as first tag of head to support Font Awesome icon on IE compatibility view. Ref. Stack Answer - font awesome not working in ie9 & ie11 compatibility mode

Current scenario not working with IE compatibility view.

My Questions -

How to put the 'X-UA-Compatible' meta tag as first?
Is it working for IE compatibility view (IE9 & IE11) ? or if you have any other solution please share.

Regards,

It does not seem like the given source produces the given result. For one, the meta tags do not match. — JonSG, Oct 05 '16 at 19:39
Is there a reason you can't use `method="xml"` instead of `method="html"`? — Daniel Haley, Oct 05 '16 at 20:19
Since you're using an `http-equiv`, why not removing it from HTML and serve it as a HTTP header? — Xenos, Oct 06 '16 at 16:13
I try to remove it, but it's automatically generate by XSL Stylesheet@Xeons — Daniel Smith, Oct 07 '16 at 10:39
