You can use the buildin template "List Sub Pages From A Changable Source" when creating a xslt in Umbraco

Ron

Using xsl:sort you can order these items.
You can limit the amount of items by using:

umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and position() < 4]

I will try that, thanks for you help!

Okay, the part I'm missing is how to manually define the parent.

here where it says:     <xsl:param name="parent" />
Id like to do something like:     <xsl:param name="mynodename" />

<xsl:template name="drawNodes">
    <xsl:param name="parent" />
    <ul>
    <xsl:for-each select="$parent/node">
        <li>
            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" />
            <xsl:if test="count(./node) &gt; 0">
                <!-- this node has children, let's list them also -->
                <xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">
                    <xsl:with-param name="parent" select="." />
                </xsl:call-template>
            </xsl:if>
        </li>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>
</xsl:template>

Thank you, works great! Such a simple solution.
