Is it possible to use a parameter as the select element in a sort tag?

<xsl:sort order="{$sorder}" select="$searchTerm"/>

Im trying to get the order based on the $searchTerm

ie.

so if $searchTerm = books/authors then in the xsl it would
sort by books/authors.

<xsl:sort order="{$sorder}" select="$searchTerm"/>


is this possible? I cant get it working, is there another way to do this?

thanks!


It will work if $searchTerm contains a nodeset, not if it is just a string that equals "books/authors". If it is just a string there maybe ways around this. What XSLT processor are you using and how are you defining $searchTerm?
