It looks like select="$sortby" is a constant expression, so the results are in their original order. Try this instead (yes, it's ugly, but it sorts): <xsl:for-each select="person/*[name() = $sortby]"> <xsl:sort select="."/> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select="../name" /></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="../age" /></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> Z.
