Michael: Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, you change didn't work. Here Sort=1,2,3.... which is column position number But @[local-name()] = A, B, C, ... which is column name Any further suggest? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:mhk@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 4:06 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] how to sort by different attributes in a table This is a FAQ. Use <xsl:sort select="@*[local-name() = $Sort]"/> The reason your attempt doesn't work is that a sort key such as $Sort that doesn't depend on the context node will have the same value for each of the nodes in the node-set being sorted. The system can't guess that you want to treat the value of this variable, e.g. "HOSTNAME", as an XPath expression.
