To get back to the original question, regarding whether the following is legal in Xalan <xsl:sort select="*[local-name()=string($sortby)]" order="{$orderby}" /> Xalan requires the order attribute value to be a literal string. It's a know feature; I've heard that there are no plans to change it to conform to the W3C spec. If you're going to use Xalan, you'll probably have to utilize David C's <xsl:choose> solution. To provide an incomplete answer to the follow-up question, regarding whether the following is legal in Xalan <xsl:sort select="*[local-name()=string($sortby)]" /> I've heard that Xalan has some scoping issues that make it unable to resolve variables within a <xsl:sort> that have been declared outside of the enclosing <xsl:for-each> or<xsl:apply-templates>. I don't know how you'd get around it. You might want to take it up on an apache mailing list <http://xml.apache.org/mail.html> . . . nevermind, I see that you already have.
