Yes. Use XPath in a language like XSLT2.

You mean change their position in the output?

You must post some sample data that this can be tested on. It is
impossible to understand your example, because we cannot see the
input, and your condition elements are not referred to in your results,
so it is impossible to see which of them is being applied.

If I understand this right,

<xsl:template match="something which matches lines 2 and 4 and col x">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="ends-with(.,'e') or
                    ends-with(.,'a') or
                    ends-with(.,'er')">
     -- do something --
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
     -- do something else --
    </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:template>

But you need to provide us with a LOT more information.
