I read your previous post and this is exactly what I'm doing. I got it to
work now, but have one thing left to figure out. How do I dynamically sort?
I have this code:

  <xsl:apply-templates>
   <xsl:sort select="/PAGE/@sort"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>

It doesn't give an error, but isn't sorting by the value of "/PAGE/@sort".
Is there a way I can tell XSL to evaluate /PAGE/@sort and sort by that
value?
