[xsl] Xsl:param from PHP to html

Subject: [xsl] Xsl:param from PHP to html

I know I am doing something fundamentally wrong here, but I cannot
understand what. 

I am trying to pass a parameter to a stylesheet from PHP, and use it to
determine the sort order. I am sure the parameter is being assigned
correctly in the PHP code, but when I run the xsl below, I always get
the default value of $SORTBY.

Many thanks

Alan
