I have used Jeni's suggestion of <xsl:sort select="@*[name() = $filterOrderBy]" order="ascending" /> which works perfectly. I understand what you are saying about needing to change the select so that the order has different values to operate on. -----Original Message----- From: David Carlisle [mailto:davidc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 02 July 2003 16:58 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Dynamic Sort Value Solved > there is only one filterOrderBy node. They are nodes that represent > query parameters from a web page. It doesn't matter how many there are, you never want to start a sort key with / or // or have it be a variable, or any other expression that gives the same result for every item. the point of a sort key is that for _each_ item in the list the sort expression is evaluated to return a number or string and it is these numbers/strings that are used to order the items. if every item uses the same string as its sort key, then sorting will not change the order of any list. So a sort key effectively has to be a relative path expression that is evaluated from each item in the list. (this isn't quite true, a path such as //x[@name()=current()] would also give different values for different items) David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
