I'm guessing this is the Microsoft IE5 "WD-XSL" dialect of XSL...

Using XSLT 1.0 you would do:
<xsl:for-each select="select="addressbook/contact">
<xsl:sort select="lastname"/>
<xsl:sort select="firstname"/>
<!-- template to repeat here -->
</xsl:for-each>
The <xsl:sort> defaults to sorting ascending by string value
but you can change this with additional attributes.
For example, to sort descending by numerical value, you would do:
<xsl:sort select="salary" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
