This is an XSLT question which should better have asked on the XSL list. As for the problem itself: the behaviour is probably correct. When using <xsl:apply-templates/>, templates are applied to all child nodes, including text nodes which consist of whitespace only (usually to format the source XML) and comments. If you have a comment before your first column element, it is at position 1. Look hard at your source.
