I don't think you want to use xalan:evaluate at all here. You are creating the the variable to hold the value of <sortby>, then you want to see if <sortby> value-of is 'name' otherwise use it as the basis for a sort... so you could should look like: <xsl:variable name="sortParameter"> <xsl:value-of select="sortby"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$sortParameter = 'name'" > <xsl:for-each select="query"> <xsl:sort select="$sortParameter" order="ascending"/> ...... </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:for-each select="query"> <xsl:sort select="$sortParameter" order="descending"/> If you really do need to evaluate the var as an xpath, post some more code for more accuarate help cheers andrew -----Original Message----- From: Roelf Jansen [mailto:roelf@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 24 July 2002 13:03 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] Evaluating parameter in <xsl:when> vs evaluating parameter in <xsl:sort>. Hi there In the following snippet the " xalan:evaluate($sortParameter) " gets the correct value when placed in the <xsl:sort> tag but not does not seem to do so when placed in the <xsl:when> tag. Is there any reason why the evaluation in the <xsl:when> tag is not working in my code? .... <xsl:variable name="sortParameter"> <xsl:value-of select="sortby"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="xalan:evaluate($sortParameter) = 'name'" > <xsl:for-each select="query"> <xsl:sort select="xalan:evaluate($sortParameter)" order="ascending"/> ...... </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:for-each select="query"> <xsl:sort select="xalan:evaluate($sortParameter)" order="descending"/> ....
