Many thanks, this seems to work well! My customisation is now:

  <xsl:template name="user.head.content">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="sorttable.js"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="tgroup[../../*[@role='sortable']]" >
    <div class="sortable">
      <xsl:attribute name="id">
        <xsl:value-of select="generate-id(.)"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:apply-imports/>
    </div>
  </xsl:template>

The change to
http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/sorttable.js is:

8c8
<     tbls = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
---
>     tbls = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
13c13,14
<             ts_makeSortable(thisTbl);
---
>             thetable = thisTbl.getElementsByTagName("table")[0];
>             ts_makeSortable(thetable);

Using a JavaScript library such as jQuery would make the element
selection even more easy:

    $("//div[@class='sortable']/table").each(function(i){
        ts_makeSortable(this);})
