Hi,
I have an xsl:sort expression that doesn't always work all the time. Not sure why. Here is a segment of my code:


------------------------
xsl:for-each select="$group/ITEM">
<xsl:sort select="*[name()=$group/ITEM/*[name()=$rowKey]]/@*[name() = $sortBy]" order="{$sortOrder}" data-type="number"/>


<xsl:if test="*[name()=$group/ITEM/*[name()=$rowKey]]">
<xsl:call-template name="processItem">
<xsl:with-param name="columnNode" select="$columnNode"/>
<xsl:with-param name="dataGroup" select="$group"/>
<xsl:with-param name="rowKey" select="*[name()=$rowKey]"/>
<xsl:with-param name="repeatName" select="attribute::SORTNAME"/> </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>


----------------------------------
This is the code that is failing:
<xsl:sort select="*[name()=$group/ITEM/*[name()=$rowKey]]/@*[name() = $sortBy]" order="{$sortOrder}" data-type="number"/>


if, I remove the following from the xsl:sort,

*[name()=$group/ITEM/*[name()=$rowKey]]/

The xsl transformation works fine. However, I need the code above for the sort to work.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
