The order parameter is an attribute value template but the select attribute (like all other attributes whose value is an expression) isn't. You can't use the "{}" notation except in an attribute that's explicitly an AVT. There's no direct way of achieving what you want in XSLT. The only ways to do it are (a) to generate a stylesheet on the fly and execute that, or (b) to write an extension function.
